Join us as we talk with historian Zara Anishanslin about her new book, which shares the story of three remarkable artists who risked everything to challenge British rule and shape America’s fight for independence.. She follows the intertwined journeys of Robert Edge Pine, Prince Demah, and Patience Wright—artists who boldly challenged British rule. From London to Boston, Jamaica to Paris, and Bath to Philadelphia, they risked their lives, reputations, and careers in the fight for independence. Through their stories, Anishanslin reveals a rich, transatlantic history of creativity, courage, and conviction, highlighting a legacy that has long been overlooked. This compelling history brings the Revolution to life through the eyes of those who helped shape it, offering readers a fresh perspective on the fight for freedom and the power of artistic expression.
