🖤 Black History Lives Here 🖤 BLACK WAR HERO: James Armistead Lafayette.
✨ MCK Black History Month Series honors JAMES ARMISTEAD LAFAYETTE, born into slavery around 1748 in New Kent County, Virginia. He became one of the most courageous and strategic heroes of the American Revolution. 🕊️
🕵🏾♂️Serving as a double agent under the Marquis de Lafayette, he moved freely through British camps in RICHMOND, PORTSMOUTH, and YORKTOWN, gathering critical intelligence on British troop movements and battle plans.
📃 His reports secured the victory during the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, the turning point that forced Britain to recognize U.S. independence.
💪🏾His bravery helped shape a new American nation and proved the courage, intelligence, and undeniable contribution of Black people fighting for freedom, even while many were still enslaved. ✊🏾
⚔️From Revolutionary courage to craftsmanship today, Moore’s Custom Kitchens honors the legacy built here in our community. 🏡✨
