Thousands of Black soldiers fought for independence, yet their service went largely unrecognized due to scarce records. In \u003ci\u003eStanding in Their Own Light\u003c\/i\u003e, Judith L. Van Buskirk restores these veterans to history, showing how their wartime sacrifices helped challenge slavery, shape abolitionist thought, and lay early claims to equality—an unfinished fight that would continue long after the war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\"\u003eAuthor: Judith L.
