Alan Gilbert -- "Black Patriots & Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence"
Alan Gilbert will speak about and sign his new book, Black Patriots & Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence, on Thursday, May 31st at 7:30pm.
About the book:
We commonly think of the American Revolution as simply the war for independence from British colonial rule. But that independence applied to only a portion of the American population—African Americans would still be bound in slavery for nearly another century. In Black Patriots and Loyalists, University of Denver professor Alan Gilbert asks us to rethink what we know about the Revolutionary War. There were actually two wars being waged at once: a political revolution for independence from Britain and a social revolution for emancipation and equality.
