What was the role of African Americans
Again, this resource is geared more towards teacher use than actual student use. The article shares the experience of African Americans during the Revolutionary War period.

Famous African American Heroes
The story of 7 African American Heroes of the Revolutionary War. I would create a Google Slide deck with information on each individual.

They would then present to the class and the class would compare and contrast their heroes.
