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\nShirley Green received her Ph.D. in history from Bowling 
 Green State University after a twenty-six year career in law enforcement. 
 She is an adjunct professor of history at the University of Toledo and 
 Bowling Green State University. She is currently the Director of the Toledo 
 Police Museum in Toledo\, Ohio.
