The Society of the First African Families of English America’s Forgotten Patriots project aims to unearth the untold stories of Americans of African and Indigenous descent who played crucial, yet often overlooked, roles in shaping our nation's history. Through extensive research, this project will shed light on the forgotten heroes and uncelebrated contributors to our country's founding and development. By highlighting their contributions, we hope to honor their legacy and enrich our collective understanding of the diverse tapestry of American history.

The Forgotten Patriots project seeks to enrich the historical narrative by reevaluating, recontextualizing, and honoring these often-marginalized figures, providing a deeper appreciation of their contributions to our shared heritage.

The Forgotten Patriots project is a scholarly endeavor, led by authors, descendants, historians and scholars, to unearth and illuminate the overlooked figures who played pivotal roles in the formation of our nation. Through rigorous research and academic expertise and the support of our partners, our team will restore the dignity of these forgotten heroes and unsung heroines, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of American history and our nation’s founding.
