Episode Details

When Col. Robert Gould Shaw took command of the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, he likely had no idea how much the men under his command would contribute to the war and to the history of the United States. GLORY tells the story of the forming of this regiment and the struggles they faced as one of the few African American regiments at that point in the Civil War.
