Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia relates the unique journey and exceptional story of this family of Revolutionaries while exploring the legacy of the American Revolution, the history of the American experiment of liberty, equality, and self-government, and the ongoing work to improve the nation’s dedication to the principle that “all men are created equal.
 
The 60-minute guided tour uses objects, documents, and immersive environments to explore the Forten family’ s roles in the Revolutionary War, business in Philadelphia, and abolition and voting rights from 1776 to 1876.
