New Jersey Free Black Man – Jacob Francis, Mercer County Library

Wednesday February 5, 2025
7:00 PM

The American Revolution's game changing events during December 1776 -- such as Washington's Crossing and the Battle of Trenton -- and the famous leaders in charge of them are known in some degree to most people. Those events take on new meaning when looked at through the actions and memories of the individuals who experienced them. This talk is the fascinating story of a New Jersey-born Free Black Man serving in a Massachusetts regiment of the Continental Army. Although just one man, what he suffered through, and contributed to, puts a human face on life at that important time. Francis' experiences laid the groundwork for a lifelong interest in promoting the ideals of the Revolution, including that all men are created equal and should have equal rights.
