Historic Book Talk with Jack Dempsey: Warriors for Liberty

From the heroic 1st Michigan Colored Infantry Regiment to unsung civilians who fought for freedom in countless ways, these stories highlight the courage, resilience, and patriotism of Michiganders of African descent in one of America’s most transformative eras.
