Everyone is welcome to this free event in the Carl T. Valenti Community Room, presented as part of the library's celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, along with our Revolution 250 exhibit showcasing the events and people that have made up the history of New Brunswick. Steven Thomas will wear the uniform of an American Patriot piper but bring us the history of the challenges and choices facing African Americans on all sides, American, British, neutral, enslaved and free, North and South, at the time of the Revolution. Their stories are not well known and this is an opportunity, especially for young people, to hear what it was like then and think about how it is now in contrast.  Steve Thomas is a 32-year-old trained musician who specializes in fife, drum, and bugle calls of the 18th and 19th Centuries. A graduate of Valley Forge Military Academy, Steven is also a member of various 18th and 19th Century Fife and Drum Corps, The 1st Rhode Island Regiment Reenactors Inc., The 6th USCT Reenactors Inc., and is a board member and Music Director of the 1st USCT Reenactors.
