Description:

"Remember Liss, by Claire Bellerjeau and Tiffany Yecke Brooks is the true story of Liss, an enslaved Black woman in 18th century New York whose life sheds light on the experiences of people of color in New York from the colonial period and the Revolutionary War into the early republic. Her life reveals the often-overlooked history of slavery in New York and her involvement with Robert Townsend, a spy for George Washington, engages readers with fascinating stories of espionage."
