Black Patriots and Loyalists

Alicia Cohen, a member of the Black History Committee, highlights the significant contributions of Black Americans, such as Crispus Attucks and James Armistead Lafayette, to the American Revolution.

The Black History Committee was founded by the Friends of Thomas Balch Library “to preserve, collect, promote, and share the history of African Americans who contributed to the emergence and development of Loudoun County, Virginia.”
