June 20, 1789: The Deputies of the Tiers Etat (Third Estate) Take Their Oath of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité at a Tennis Court In this historic image, a group of deputies from the Tiers Etat, or Third Estate, of the French Estates-General, are seen gathered around a makeshift table on a tennis court. The date is June 20, 1789, and the scene unfolds against the backdrop of the French Revolution. The Third Estate, which represented the common people of France, had been locked out of their meeting hall by the more privileged First and Second Estates. Frustrated and determined to assert their rights, the deputies decided to adjourn to a nearby tennis court, which was conveniently close at hand. As they gathered around the makeshift table, the deputies took an oath to establish a new constitutional monarchy in France, based on the principles of Liberté, Égalité, and Fraternité. This momentous event marked the beginning of the end of the old regime and the start of the French Revolution. The tennis court, once a symbol of leisure and privilege, became a site of revolutionary fervor and determination. The image captures the spirit of the moment, as the deputies stand united in their commitment to creating a new and just society for all the people of France. This powerful and evocative image is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the capacity for change. It is a reminder of the pivotal role that ordinary people can play in shaping the course of history.
