book of names
 

 

For too long the names of the African American Freedom fighters of the Civil War were hidden in the musty halls of the Archives. It has taken years to get them out to the public on to a National monument in Washington. I hope the public will take full advantage of this publication to fill in the blank pages of history and tell the full story of the fight for freedom and democracy in America.
