Hunterdon County Historical Society presents Black History Month program on patriot Jacob Francis
Updated Jan 26, 2021;
The Hunterdon County Historical Society will host a free virtual program on African-American patriot Jacob Francis, who fought alongside Continental soldiers during the American Revolution.
Author and historian William “Larry” Kidder will discuss Francis’s life on Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. via Zoom. To reserve a space, visit the historical society’s website at www.hunterdonhistory.org.
The program, titled “The Revolutionary World of a Free Black Man: Jacob Francis, 1754-1836,” is based upon Kidder’s research for his forthcoming book-length biography of Francis to be published by Knox Press. “Francis’s life reveals an important story of New Jersey and American history that is little known – how people who were neither enslaved nor white experienced the American Revolution and the early Republic period.”
