Our partnership seeks to explore the meaning of freedom during the Revolutionary Era by focusing research on the lived experience of enslaved individuals associated with National Park Service sites. As the nation prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, the research on freedom seeking in the context of the American Revolution will identify and evaluate resources associated with the African American struggle for freedom and civil rights. ![]() Freedom SeekersDiscover the story of Freedom Seekers in the Revolutionary Era ![]() Research TeamLearn more about our project research team ![]() PartnershipsFind out more about our partners behind Claiming Freedom |
