“Preserving and telling the stories of the United States Colored Troops involvement in the American Civil War.”
Memorial was dedicated in July of 1998
The mission of the African American Civil War Museum is to correct a great wrong in history that largely ignored the enormous contributions of the 209,145 members of the United States Colored Troops. It tells the stories and preserves for posterity the historic roles these brave men of African, European, and Hispanic descent played in ending slavery and keeping America united under one flag.
The African American Civil War Museum is a member of the United Way National Capital Region and our number is 9506. Also designate number 45509 to give to the museum through the Combined Federal Campaign
