North Bethesda Village (NBV) is thrilled to announce its new collaboration with Washington Metro Oasis. Oasis is a unique educational program for seniors who want to continue learning and thriving throughout their lives. Oasis membership is free and open to anyone over age 50.

Slavery and the American Revolution (plus post-lecture discussion)

African Americans threw themselves into the revolutionary war effort with more enthusiasm and with more at stake than did many white colonists. The chaos of the war itself brought many enslaved men new opportunities for independence as the British Army promised freedom to those who might be willing to desert their rebel masters and join the King’s regiments. This talk examines the ways that black Americans seized the unique opportunities provided by the war to declare their independence from slavery. (This program is brought to you by Oasis in partnership with North Bethesda Village. North Bethesda Village will be hosting the post-lecture discussion and residents of the 20852 zip code have priority for in-person seats in the class.)
