“Footprints of the Forgotten 14” is a student-led historical documentary and multimedia exhibition that restores the stories of fourteen forgotten Black soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War during the pivotal Battles of Trenton and Princeton. Through original archival research, storytelling, and visual art, students from Foundation Academies’ Black Student Union uncover the lives, sacrifices, and legacy of these men—many of whom marched barefoot, fought for a nation that denied them freedom, and were later erased from traditional historical narratives.

Combining documentary filmmaking, AI-generated soldier monologues, and portrait artwork inspired by JET magazine covers, the project brings these Revolutionary War patriots back into public memory. “Footprints of the Forgotten 14”  not only reclaims overlooked history but also empowers a new generation of students to become historians, storytellers, and guardians of truth as we celebrate the 100th year of Black History Month and as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
