Forgotten Patriots: African American and American Indian Service in the Revolutionary War at the DAR Museum
This 2002 exhibit, organized by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Museum and in collaboration with the DAR Library, illuminates, in many cases for the first time, the varied roles that members of these groups played in our nation's fight for independence. The decision to fight for America against the English was a difficult one for many Americans of all ranks and ethnic backgrounds. For the American Indian tribes, and for enslaved and free African Americans, it was especially problematic. The simple fact that these men and women served at all is a powerful testament to their devotion to our new nation in difficult and uncertain times.
