Description

Presenters: Steve Walter, Valley Forge National Historical Park and Gabby Hornbeck, the National Parks of Boston

Join the National Parks of Boston and Valley Forge NHP for Connections and Conversations.

Even today many of the contributions of African Americans to the American Revolutionary War are unexpected and unknown. The story of patriots of African descent is a story of many individual people working towards a common cause, while at the same time fighting for various individual reasons. Explore forgotten stories from Bunker Hill and Valley Forge.
