Opening Weekend of Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia Special Exhibit

Join the Museum of the American Revolution for the opening weekend of our newest special exhibition, Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia, which introduces visitors to James Forten and his descendants as they navigated the American Revolution in Philadelphia to become leaders in the abolition movement in the lead-up to the Civil War and the women's suffrage movement. Throughout the weekend, visitors can also experience 20-minute theatrical performances about James Forten’s life. This exhibit is included with regular Museum admission.
