NY: Screening of the documentary Kosciuszko: A Man Before His Time
March 27, 2017
There are more statutes of Kosciuszko in America than any historical figure except for George Washington and millions of New York TV and radio listeners daily hear of traffic jams on the Kosciuszko Bridge, but do you know that Gen. Thaddeus Kosciuszko (1746-1817) was:
• A national hero in Poland and the United States,
• Freedom fighter and military leader,
• Ardent advocate for the rights of European serfs, African Slaves, Native American Indians, Jews, Women and all other disenfranchised social groups on two continents,
• Engineer and creator of the West Point,
• A precursor of the development of national awareness in its modern sense, embodiment of the principle of tolerance, called by Thomas Jefferson "the purest son of liberty, I have ever known."
Please join us at a screening of a documentary Kosciuszko: A Man Before His Time and learn more about gen. Thaddeus Kosciuszko’s legacy.
(Yes, if you are coming from Queens you need to cross The Kosciuszko Bridge to get there.)
