As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Thomas Stone and Potomac Hundred Chapters are working to recognize African and African American patriots who played a vital role in the nation’s founding. In celebration of Black History Month, these chapters have donated the Recognizing Our Forgotten Patriots research collection to the Washington DC FamilySearch Center in Kensington, Maryland.
The Recognizing Our Forgotten Patriots collection will be freely accessible at the Washington DC FamilySearch Center, ensuring that students, historians, and families can learn about and honor these underrepresented patriots.
