Hari Jones
Hari Jones of the African
American Civil War Memorial and Museum delivers the first in a two-part talk
about African American intelligence and espionage efforts on behalf of the
Union leading up to and through the war. Here in part one, he details the
pre-existing networks of people of African descent in the United States, and
how those “knowledge circles,” as he calls them, were the foundations for the
“Loyal League,” a secret national organization of slaves, servants, and
freedmen who contributed to the Union cause, and viewed the Civil War as the
ultimate means of ending slavery. The Historical Society of Washington, DC and
the International Spy Museum co-hosted this event. - See more at:
