Description : Abstract Hope Kelly reports on the annual re-enactment on Patriot's Day of the ride of American Revolutionary leader William Dawes.

She reports that Dawes began his ride to Lexington in 1775 from the site of the First Church of Roxbury. Kelly notes that Tom Plant (Roxbury historian) organizes the annual re-enactment at the First Church of Roxbury. Kelly's report features footage of Plant and others in colonial costume at the re-enactment. Kelly interviews Plant and Butch Redding (Roxbury resident) about the re-enactment and the rich history of the Roxbury neighborhood. Kelly reports that many historians overlook the sacrifices made by soldiers of color during the American Revolution. Kelly's report is accompanied by footage of Plant addressing a small crowd from the pulpit of the First Church of Roxbury. Contributor : Editor Tamara McClinton Contributor : Reporter Hope Kelly
