"To Stand and Fight Together: Richard Pierpoint and the Coloured Corps of Upper Canada" by Steve Pitt recounts the inspiring true story of Richard Pierpoint, an African man who fought for freedom and justice in the early 19th century. Living in Upper Canada during a time of racial discrimination, Pierpoint distinguished himself as a leader by organizing the Coloured Corps, a regiment of Black soldiers who bravely served in the War of 1812. The narrative explores themes of resilience, camaraderie, and the struggle for equality, highlighting Pierpoint's contributions and the pivotal role of the Coloured Corps in shaping Canadian history.
