Step into the American Revolution through the life of John Rollison, a wealthy free man of color and Virginia patriot, portrayed by historical interpreter James Cameron. Through storytelling, audience interaction, and Q&A, this program offers a deeper look at the people and perspectives that shaped the nation’s founding.

Rollison worked alongside figures such as Patrick Henry, Thomas Nelson, Peyton Randolph, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, highlighting the often-overlooked role of American-born Africans in Revolutionary-era Virginia. His story brings history closer, personal, and alive.
