Out of This Strife Will Come Freedom

Join the Delaware Historical Society on December 3 as we host Dr. Warren Milteer Jr. for a talk on his groundbreaking new work, Out of This Strife Will Come Freedom: Free People of Color and the Fight for Equal Rights in the Civil War Era.
Free people of color were both architects of equal rights and active participants in the Civil War, on and off the battlefield. Their unique status as already free persons before emancipation shaped their experiences of military service, political activism, and community life in ways distinct from those newly freed from slavery and affected how they navigated the pursuit of equal rights.
Centering their voices and histories, Out of This Strife Will Come Freedom shows how their sacrifices and strategies helped forge America’s path toward justice, reshaping our understanding of freedom and their enduring legacy in the national story.
