April 22, 6:00 - 8:00 PM (ET)
American Ancestors headquarters, 97 Newbury Street, Boston, MA
Join us for the unveiling of Patriots of Color, a new temporary exhibit in the Family Heritage Experience at American Ancestors. Throughout the evening, you'll experience this new exhibit, which sheds light on the overlooked histories of Black, Native, and mixed-descent men and women who fought, labored, and led in the struggle for American independence across all thirteen colonies. Through documents, personal narratives, and digital interactives, the exhibition uncovers the courage and resilience of those whose contributions helped shape a new nation, even as they continued to confront inequality and enslavement.
Along with the engaging display, guests can enjoy refreshments, passed hors d'oeuvres, and short remarks from Ryan J. Woods, CEO and President of American Ancestors.
