Black Soldiers at Battle of Germantown

Byron Childress has posted a list of blacks who fought at the Battle Of Germantown, which he compiled from the book " Black Courage, 1775-1783 : documentation of Black participation in the American Revolution"*. He has posted it on the 1ST Rhode Island Regiment website. Having read the list I look forward to reading the book.

Fight For Freedom
is a 30 minute documentary available on DVD, produced in collaboration by the Closeup Foundation, the African American Civil War Memorial Freedom Memorial, and was funded by a grant from the WK. Kellogg Foundation. It won the prestigious Grand Award for Best of Show at the New York Festivals 02 International Film and Video Awards. It is a high quality production, and a great resource for schools, students, descendants of soldiers who fought with US Colored Troops in the Civil War, and anyone interested in African American history, or supporting the Civil War Memorial. Sgt. Fred Minus from the 6TH USCT obtained a copy while attending the United Stated Colored Troops Symposium.
