From indigenous people and enslaved Africans to lawmakers and artisans, the documentary reveals how diverse communities shaped a new nation. Though rooted in Philadelphia, this is a shared American story whose debates, ideals and consequences still resonate today.
This program is made possible, in part, by the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission through funding from the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment of the Arts.
