PA: Lecture by Gary B. Nash, PhD based on his book "Friends of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson, Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Agrippa Hull".

The Kosciuszko Foundation, Philadelphia Chapter, in cooperation with the Museum of the American Revolution and the National Park Service, will be hosting a free public lecture by Gary B. Nash, PhD based on his book "Friends of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson, Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Agrippa Hull". Friends of Liberty tells the remarkable story of three men whose lives were braided together by issues of liberty and race that fueled revolutions across two continents. Thomas Jefferson wrote the founding documents of the United States. Tadeusz Kosciuszko was a hero of the American Revolution and later led a spectacular but failed uprising in Poland, his homeland. Agrippa Hull, a freeborn black New Englander, volunteered at eighteen to join the Continental Army. Join us for this fascinating lecture!

The lecture will be followed by a reception featuring drinks and light fare, as well as a book signing.

Currently, only purchase of admission to the reception is available (lecture admission is included in this purchase). Please note no tickets will be mailed but your name will be registered at the door for entrance.
