Sons of the American Revolution
The Oregon SAR has used the America 250 Minute program for the last year as articles in our weekly
E-newsletter the Oregon Patriot. What is nice about this program is that we send out to all our members
this program which they can use for their own purposes.
Following are 12 months’ worth of our programs that we have taken from our Revolutionary War
Monthly Timeline 1765-1788 document which you can download on our www.america250sar.org
web site. There are two programs from Missouri SAR which they have produced as abroadside style
publication also included in this package.
Take these as examples that you can use, or to add to for your own needs. Good Luck.

Resources about Black, Brown and Indigenous Patriots in the American Revolution
African American Participation in the American RevolutionThousands of African Americans, both free persons of color and enslaved, supported the American Revolution. Estimates range from 5,000, to over 10,000, African Americans participated in the Revolution in various ways. African Americans fought in every major battle in the Revolution, beginning April 19, 1775, and continuing on through Yorktown. They served in the Continental Army, in militias and at sea. The SAR welcomes as members proven descendants of Black Patriots who, by force of arms or rendering material aid, contributed to the Patriot cause. There are many resources available to assist you in researching your Black Patriot Ancestor. Some are linked here, as well some background information. We also present a few SAR members’ stories of their African American Patriot Ancestor. Please contact your local SAR chapter for help in documenting your SAR lineage. Other SAR members have expertise in this specialized genealogical research and are ready to assist local chapters. Please join us in celebrating the contributions of your African American ancestor to the Patriot cause by becoming a member of the SAR. John L.
