Join journalist and author Andrew Lawler for an eye-opening evening as we delve into a lesser-known chapter of the American Revolution. While many are familiar with the patriots who fought for independence, fewer know about the thousands of African Americans who sided with King George III in pursuit of their own freedom from bondage.

This talk brings to light how a rogue British governor and his Black troops posed a unique challenge to America's quest for independence. Based on Lawler's latest book, which has been praised by The New York Times as "absorbing" and "a sharp-eyed look at the messy, sometimes absurd, often cruel birth pangs of a nation," this lecture will reshape your understanding of this critical moment in history.

Don’t miss the chance to gain new insights into the complexities of the American Revolution with the knowledgeable journalist, Andrew Lawler.
