Many readers can easily think of Black and Indigenous heroes and heroines from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but they draw a blank when it comes to the colonial period. It turns out that the colonial period contains a wealth of important cultural achievers: people who should be included in our lexicons, people who made major contributions to how the world evolved in that time. Colonial Black and Indigenous Cultural Leaders contains biographical stories of eighty such people, who made their marks in a variety of fields: music composers, architects, master-builders, sculptors, painters, potters, silversmiths, writers, poets, actors, business people, clergy, political leaders, and military heroes.

Reviews for Colonial Black and Indigenous Cultural Leaders

""John Millar's Colonial Black and Indigenous Cultural Leaders is a fascinating and essential book. With care and clarity, it brings long-overlooked figures to life--Black and Indigenous Americans whose creativity, intellect, and courage helped shape our nation from the beginning. This is the kind of history that nourishes the soul and expands the story of who we are. I'm grateful this book exists."" --Eleanor Herman, author of Mistress of the Vatican ""John Millar has produced a highly informative and useful reference guide that explores the important yet (all too often) little-known contributions of colonial-era Black and Indigenous leaders. This book would be a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about how these fascinating individuals helped shape the society that we live in today."" --Sean M. Heuvel, editor of The Revolutionary War Memoirs of Major General William Heath
