A collection of black and white photographs is spread out, primarily showing an individual in a military uniform. The images appear to be vintage, possibly documenting historical events or figures. The photographs are slightly worn and are placed in a cardboard box, which has text and illustrations on it.

Our Historical Legacy

Bucks of America honors the contributions of an all-black militia during the Revolutionary War, recovering lost histories through dedicated research by Robert Gatewood.

A historical reenactment scene with several individuals dressed in 19th-century attire. They are gathered around a large cannon with wooden wheels, positioned on a grassy field. The people wear wide-brimmed hats, waistcoats, and suspenders. In the background, more figures dressed similarly are visible, adding to the sense of historical ambience.

Inspiring and enlightening.
