Hinsonville’s Heroes, Agents of Emancipation and Civil Rights
Dr. Cheryl Renée Gooch will trace the stories of 18 residents of Hinsonville, a free black community in southeast Pennsylvania, who fought for the Union. The former 19th century village of Hinsonville attracted both free and determined to be free people who championed religious freedom, higher education, land ownership and equal rights. She is the author of Hinsonville’s Heroes: Black Civil War Soldiers of Chester County, Pennsylvania (The History Press, February 2018).
