African Americans in the American Revolution

African Americans have an integral part in the history of the American Revolution, from Crispus Attucks, the Black Minutemen in Massachusetts, to the 1st Rhode Island Regiment. Here are some of the best resources I've found on the Web about African Americans in the Revolutionary War:

• AmericanRevolution.com: African Americans in the Revolutionary Period
• Wikipedia: African Americans in the American Revolution [category index of various Wikipedia articles]
• PBS.org: Africans in America: The Revolutionary War

This list of resources is of course by no means exhaustive, but it should be enough to get you started on researching the topic. I'll add to this list as I come across more quality resources.

List of All Famous/Notable African Americans

There are a lot of good lists of famous African Americans on the Web, though no single list is exhaustive. Here are some of the better ones I've come across:

• Infoplease: African American Biographies, A to Z
• About.com: Black Inventors A to Z
• Wikipedia: Various lists of African Americans [this is a meta list that refers to other Wikipedia lists!
• About.com: Notable African American Women

Again, the above lists won't be exhaustive, but they will certainly get you started. I'll add more resources to this list as I go through my notes and sort out everything I've bookmarked.
