The American Revolution was a political upheaval during the last half of the 18th century in which thirteen incorporated colonies in North America joined together in a rebellion to break free from the British Empire, combining to become the United States of America
Many men of African Heritage like Agrippa Hull, Prince Hall, and many others did side with the Patriot cause. 5,000 men of African Heritage served in the Continental Army, and hundreds more served on the sea. This is their story.
(Each presentation offers a living history character, an exhibit of period artifacts, demonstrations and a powerpoint. All presented in a museum quality exposition.
Sessions run approx 45 min to double periods.)
A grand program module is also available for encampment
