The Revolution had heroes many Americans know little about.
History books often left them out. But their courage helped shape a nation.
📖 Read: Don Troiani’s Black Soldiers in America’s Wars, 1754–1865 pairs jaw-dropping art with historical depth—revealing the stories too often overlooked.
📺 Watch: @kaj33 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Netflix series, Black Patriots: Heroes of the Revolution, shines a long-overdue light on their fight for freedom.
👉 Once you know this part of history, you won’t forget it.
