Revolution Untold: James Armistead Lafayette

Revolution Untold: James Armistead Lafayette An enslaved man became the spy who helped win Yorktown — then had to fight all over again for his own freedom. — Revolution Untold is a public history project led by Strategic Cultural Partnerships at William & Mary and the City of Williamsburg, created for the 250th anniversary of American independence. The series recovers the stories of ordinary Virginians — the enslaved and free, women and men, the famous and the forgotten — whose lives shaped the Revolutionary era but rarely make it into the textbooks. Each episode restores a single life to the historical record. Revolution Untold is generously sponsored by the Society of 1918 at William & Mary and the Williamsburg 250 Commission, and is made possible in part by a grant from the VA250 Commission in partnership with Virginia Humanities.
