SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—  Revolutionary Blacks: Discovering the Frank Brothers\, Freeborn Men of Color\, Soldiers of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Through the experiences of William and Benjamin Frank\, two free Black brothers who enlisted in the Second Rhode Island Regiment of the Continental Army during the American Revolution\, Shirley Green\, adjunct professor of history at the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University\, focuses our attention on the Black experience during the American Revolution by underscoring the significant distinction between free Blacks in military service and those who had been enslaved\, and how they responded in different ways to the harsh realities of racism. Drawing from the experiences of William and Benjamin Frank\, free Black brothers who enlisted in the Continental Army's Second Rhode Island Regiment\, Dr. Green presents a complex account of Black life during the revolutionary era to demonstrate that free men of color shared with white soldiers the desire to improve their condition of life and to maintain their families safely in post-colonial North America. \nRegistration is requested.
