And the further development of the article with data from a CEO’s survey. #Leadership #Leaders #LeadershipDevelopment #Coaching #ProfessionalCoaching

Moments of impact. After 29 years in the Navy, W. Perry Bingham has followed the golden rule: treat others like you want to be treated. He has gotten a cross-generational perspective on this through his time of service, supporting his wife with scholarship programs, and now through sitting on the Board of Directors for the Anchor Scholarship Foundation. He is focused on setting up young military people for success and creating a lasting impact as they advance. #NationalVeteransAndMilitaryFamiliesMonth

I have identified by name and city of residence 4 members of the Massachusetts militia in the Minutemen category who were Black. The next part of my research about Black men of Revolutionary War Era Massachusetts is to compile a list of men who were part of city and town militia companies, men who were enlisted or drafted into the Continental Army regiments, and Black men who were crew on Massachusetts privateer ships . Are there any others working on identifying Black or Indigenous Americans who are Revolutionary War veterans?
