History books are replete with heroic stories of Washington,
Jefferson, and Adams, but what of Allen, Russwurm, and Hawley?
"America's Black Founders "celebrates the lesser known but
significant lives and contributions of our nation's early African
American leaders. Many know that the Revolutionary War's first
martyr, Crispus Attucks, a dockworker of African descent, was
killed at the Boston Massacre. But far fewer know that the final
conflict of the war, the Battle of Yorktown, was hastened to a
conclusion by James Armistead Lafayette, a slave and spy who
reported the battle plans of General Cornwallis to George
Washington. Author Nancy Sanders weaves the histories of dozens of
men and women--soldiers, sailors, ministers, poets, merchants,
doctors, and other community leaders--who have earned proper
recognition among the founders of the United States of America. To
get a better sense of what these individuals accomplished and the
times in which they lived, readers will celebrate Constitution Day,
cook colonial foods, publish a newspaper, petition their
government, and more. This valuable resource also includes a time
line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or
explore online, and Web resources for further study.
