From Revolution to Remembrance: Patriots of Color and Their Descendants

A 10 Million Names Event Featuring a Conversation with Ken Burns and Dr. Vincent Brown

Free to register, donations appreciated.

On the eve of Juneteenth, this special event will feature a conversation between acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns (The American Revolution) and historian Dr. Vincent Brown, moderated by American Ancestors President & CEO Ryan Woods. Together they will explore the history and enduring significance of Patriots of color and the vital, yet often overlooked, role they played in the American Revolution.

The event will also celebrate a major milestone: the release of freely accessible family trees, developed in collaboration with the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, linking Patriots of color to descendants born before 1900 and making it easier for living individuals to trace their connection to the American Revolution.

By participating in this event, you are not only engaging with history—you are helping to restore it. Proceeds directly support the mission of 10 Million Names, advancing the work of recovery, remembrance, and historical restoration.
