The first African Americans of Peekskill had no say about making the
Hudson Valley their home. What they did decide was what kind of home to make of it--a choice that was to shape both their community and the course of American history. Meet the African American sharpshooter who helped swing the balance of the
American Revolution and the people whose quiet, consistent contributions were no less dynamic in bringing about social change.
