Travel back to the wilds of the 1830s Florida when Blacks who escaped slavery joined Indigenous tribes fighting forced removal by U.S. troops. One of them, Abraham, rose to become a chief during the bloody and expensive conflict now known as the Second Seminole War. Discover more about this little-known chapter of Florida history. Author Jamie Holmes will appear by Zoom to answer our questions.
