SUMMARY:African American Soldiers and Sailors of New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:African American Soldiers and Sailors of New Hampshire During the American Revolution\nFriday\, June 12\, 2026\n6:00 – 7:30pm\n\n“One of the most interesting aspects of the American Revolution is the role played by African Americans in the fight for independence. Both free African Americans and those that were enslaved were key in manning state militias and Continental Army units\, as well as serving on the high seas in the Navy and on privately armed ships. Indeed\, their service to the colonies was crucial in a conflict that lasted nearly seven years. Prohibited from serving in military units and largely considered “undesirable elements\,” how is it that these African-American soldiers came to fight for the cause of liberty\, even when their own personal liberty was not guaranteed? \nGlenn Knoblock examines the history of African-American soldiers’ service during the war\, including how and why they enlisted\, their interaction with white soldiers\, service on the battlefields\, how they were perceived by the enemy and the officers under whom they served\, and their treatment after the war. ” – Sourced from New Hampshire Humanities website \nThis event is in partnership with the Enfield Shaker Museum and will take place in the Great Stone Dwelling Meeting Room. \nThis event is made possible by New Hampshire Humanities\, in partnership with NHPBS\, with additional support provided by Cogswell Benevolent Trust. By the People: Conversations Beyond 250 is a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public.  No reservations necessary.  Plenty of free parking.
