Explore CrisRadio’s Forgotten Voices of the Revolutionary War

“Forgotten Voices of the American Revolution” focuses on the unacknowledged individuals of color and women at the Redding Revolutionary War Winter Encampment from December 1778 to April 1779. CRIS was awarded a National Park Service (NPS) grant to create an accessible smartphone audio tour of the Redding Revolutionary War winter encampment and to research the contributions of African Americans, women, and indigenous people at the Redding encampment that have generally gone unacknowledged. The research for the NPS project, Forgotten Voices of the Revolutionary War, was conducted by a collaborative team of historians, archivists, archaeologists, anthropologists, and Central Connecticut State University master’s students to research shed light.
