The Dream Begins: Agrippa Hull and Tadeusz Kosciuszko focuses on the friendship of these two Revolutionary War heroes who challenged the status quo of their time. Their friendship was profoundly influenced by American slavery. Agrippa Hull was a free Black man who served as an aide-decamp to Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish patriot and military trained Engineer, who joined the fight for America’s Independence. These two heroes were instrumental in helping achieve America’s victory against Britain.
