I may not live to see our glory
Alexander, there's a letter from South Carolina for you
It's from John Laurens I'll read it later
But I will gladly join the fight
No, it's from his father
His father?
And when our children tell our story
Will you read it for me?
They'll tell the story of tonight.
245 years ago today, John Laurens was shot and killed in a gunfight against British troops retreating from South Carolina. The war was already over. As you all know, John dreamed of emancipating and recruiting 3000 slaves for the first all-black military regiment. His dream for these men dies with him
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
