Wentworth Cheswell was the grandson of a slave, an elected official—and a Revolutionary War hero who once made a Paul Revere-like ride to warn locals of British movements.
Wentworth Cheswell was the beneficiary of a hard working father who set the example and laid the foundation for Wentworth in the face of adverse racial attitudes. Passing along that kind of legacy to our children will serve them and our country well.
Thank you Tara. Another man who deserved to be honored and reveared for his many accomplishments and his service but who was racially discriminated against. Wentworth Cheswell was an honorable man.
