SUMMARY:Hidden Heroes: Norwich's Black Soldiers & Sailors of the Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sandra Soucy\, this compelling program explores the lives of approximately twenty Black men identified by scholars as Revolutionary War soldiers and sailors from Norwich. The presentation also examines the efforts of local citizens who advocated for the abolition of slavery and embraced freedom for all as a central goal of the Revolution\, shedding light on a powerful and often overlooked chapter of the city’s history. \nMuch has been written about Norwich’s participation in the American Revolution. This bustling city was known for its fervent support of the patriot cause\, contributing troops\, military leaders\, and supplies to the war effort. What is less known is the participation of Black residents\, who bravely fought for the freedom of this country and for their own; for whom “Life\, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” had a very personal meaning. \nThis free public program is presented by the America’s 250th Norwich CT Committee in partnership with Otis Library and sponsored through the Project PEACE Impact Fund by Global City Norwich and NCDC. All are welcome to attend.
