They spent years apart, sometimes on separate continents, but stayed intensely in love for more than half a century. The Adams’ are remembered today as two key architects of America’s enduring legacy: democracy, freedom, the rule of law and government by the people, responsible to the needs of the people. Their love story changed the world.
