The Same Principle Lives in Us: People of African Descent in the American Revolution (HYBRID) In-Person
American Revolutionaries struggled with a key question: would the words of the Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal,” apply to all people?” From the outbreak of the Revolution, people of African descent asked and answered this question through their words and actions. In this talk, hear the stories and explore the objects that we use at the Museum to help imagine what the Revolution was like for Phillis Wheatley, Elizabeth Freeman, James Forten, Harry Washington, and others.
Presented by the Museum of the American Revolution.
This program will be HYBRID: you can watch on our 100" high-definition screen, or from the comfort of your home! The Zoom link will be sent out the day before AND on Thursday afternoon.
Registration has closed.
