In honor of 250 years since America's founding, the History and Political Studies Department at Southern Adventist University invites community members to join in welcoming award-winning historian and author Anna-Lisa Cox to present "Faithful Fighters: Black Revolutionary War Veterans" on Thursday, February 26, at 7 p.m. in Lynn Wood Hall Chapel on campus.

A non-resident research fellow at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research in Boston, Massachusetts, Cox's original research underpins two history exhibits at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in the nation's capital while her writing has been featured in a variety of publications including The Washington Post and The New York Times.

A reception at 6:30 p.m. will precede the free lecture. For additional information, visit southern.edu/southernevents.
