SUMMARY:Discovering the Frank Brothers - Freeborn Men of Color\, Soldiers of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Shirley Green will speak about her recent book\, Revolutionary Blacks: Discovering the Frank Brothers\, Freeborn Men of Color\, Soldiers of Independence (Westholme Publishing; 2023). The narrative follows the lives of William and Benjamin Frank\, two brothers who enlisted in Second Rhode Island Regiment during the American Revolutionary War in the spring of 1777. Their military experiences quickly diverged\, and Dr. Green explores their stories to provide context and substance to the Black experience during the war years\, as well as underscore the significant distinction between free Blacks in military service and those who had been enslaved\, and how they responded in different ways to the harsh realities of racism.\n\nRegister for Discovering the Frank Brothers – Freeborn Men of Color\, Soldiers of Independence\n\nShirley L. Green received her Ph.D. in history from Bowling Green State University after a twenty-six-year career in law enforcement.
