Approximately 500,000 people of African descent lived in British North America on the eve of the Revolution. From figures like Absalom Jones and Elizabeth Freeman to individuals who served with the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, their stories and perspectives are explored in “The American Revolution,” a new film by Ken Burns that concludes tonight on PBS, and every day here at the Museum through our core galleries and digital interactives.
