A special outdoor screening of “Declarations: Black Americans and the Revolutionary War” with Director Stacey Holman

Join Morris-Jumel Mansion for a FREE outdoor screening of this 60-minute documentary that explores and, in many instances, uncovers the stories of Black men and women who contributed to the building of the Nation, which commemorates the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.

“In 1776, the Founders’ promise of “all men are created equal” remained distant for many. Trace the heroic stories of the enslaved and freed Black Americans who fought to define democracy and their liberty through the Revolutionary War.”

Director Stacey Holman will introduce the film, parts of which were shot inside the Morris-Jumel Mansion.

Bring a chair or a blanket and enjoy the film under the stars.
