History is not complete until every story is told. Men W/O Shoes, February 19 & 21

Student Union presents a tribute to forgotten heroes of the American Revolution.

At least fourteen Black men fought alongside General George Washington to secure a crucial victory in the Battle of Princeton. Students from Foundation Academies in Trenton have been engaged in research to uncover the identities of these men and to share their stories.

The Men W/O Shoes project, which grew from a collaboration with the Princeton Battlefield Society, culminates this month at Morven with a striking multi-media installation of student-created works that reflect the resilience, sacrifice, and legacy of Black soldiers in war.
