The Boston National Historic Park unveiled two new resources recently.

Bunker Hill Monument: Remembering Revolution
An audio exploration of what over 100,000 people commemorated on June 17, 1843, the memory of some of the men who fought at Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, and why the monument and men continue to have relevance today. You can find it HERE. (https://www.nps.gov/bost/remembering-revolution.htm)

Patriots of Color - Bunker Hill
The earliest military engagements of the American Revolution occurred in Massachusetts. With the British Army occupying the city, residents throughout the countryside took up arms and prepared for battle. Among the thousands of local colonists who joined the patriot cause stood many men of African and Indigenous ancestries. These brave men, both free and enslaved, fought for a new country yet to recognize their humanity and citizenship. They fought valiantly alongside their fellow soldiers and helped secure the independence of the United State of America.
