Abigail Adams to John Adams, 31 Mar 1776
"I long to hear that you have declared an independency -- and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation."

This we invite you to learn more about DAR’s efforts to showcase members of underrepresented groups who supported the American Revolution, such as African American Patriots. The DAR’s ongoing E Pluribus Unum Educational Initiative aims to celebrate, support scholarship and expand resources on underrepresented Patriots. Various DAR initiatives, programs and collaborations with other research institutions support our efforts to celebrate underrepresented Patriots and honor the important impact African Americans have had in shaping our country.

Learn more about exhibitions, resources, collaborations, and special projects that the DAR National Society, DAR Library and DAR Museum are working on to highlight the important contributions of the Black community in the history of our country.
