Black Patriots Monument

This City of Greensboro meeting, held on March 31, 2026, focused on the Black Patriots Commemoration Project, which aims to raise funds for a monument honoring African-American soldiers who fought in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse during the American Revolutionary War. The discussion highlighted the project's collaboration with the city, the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, and the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. The monument is planned to be located downtown to serve as a focal point for tourism and community recognition. Fundraising efforts are underway with a goal of $1 million, half of which will cover the monument's creation, including sculpting and educational programming. The meeting emphasized the importance of accurate historical representation and community support to advance the project.
