Men Without Shoes Exhibit Reception

Celebrate the hard work and achievement of the Foundation Academies Black Student Union scholars.

About the Project

Foundation Academies Black Student Union scholars conducted original archival research to reconstruct the untold stories of 14 Black Revolutionary War soldiers who fought in the Battles of Trenton and Princeton. To bring these long-silent soldiers to life, “Men Without Shoes’ features a behind-the-scenes video and a documentary film utilizing student-produced AI-generated monologues. With no photographs on record, scholars also collaborated with Philadelphia visual artist Shaheed Rucker to develop portraits inspired by JET magazine covers, imagining how the soldiers may have looked. Recently, the documentary received the Young People’s Visionary Award at the15th Annual People’s Film Festival of Harlem.
