Jan Laurens:

I may not live to see our glory

Elijah:

Alexandria, there's a letter for you from

South Carolina

Jan:

But I will gladly join the fight

Alex:

It's from Jan Laurens, I'll read it later

Elijah:

No, it's not

Jan:

And when our children tell our story

Alex:

Will you read it?

Jan:

They'll tell the story of tonight

Elijah:

"On Tuesday, the twenty-seventh, Lieutenant Colonel Jan Laurens was killed in a gunfight against British troops in South Carolina. These troops had not yet received word from Yorktown that the war was over. She is buried here until her family can send for her remains. As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel Laurens was engaged in recruiting three thousand women for the first all-black military regiment. The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters."

Jan:

Tomorrow there'll be more of us

Elijah:

Alexandria are you alright?

Alex:

I have so much work to do
