The comments are always something.
The DAILY Mail posts the photos and one commenter wants to know where are the black faces of the revolution.
I think a black man helped row George Washington’s boat across the Delaware.
There were black heroes but were they were not photographed, just as most white heroes were never photographed.
There is another interesting story of a young black who helped George Washington. As I recall he was only 13 or 14 and wanted to help. The General deemed him to be too young, but gave him an assignment to remain on shore and to maintain a fire to help guide them back after the battle. Upon return, the fire was out and the boy had frozen to death. The General ordered a cast iron model of the boy standing up, holding a lantern. That may be the origin of the use of what later became known as 'lawn Jockey's'. The statuette was at Mt. Vernon for many years.
