Episode Details

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Wilmington, Delaware, is spotlighting the often-overlooked U.S. Colored Troops—the African American soldiers who fought for the Union and their own freedom during the Civil War. At Wilmington National Cemetery, organizers turned remembrance into celebration, honoring these brave men not with sorrow, but with education and pride. A new sculpture near the Cameron Art Museum visually commemorates their vital role, while organizers remind us that even President Lincoln recognized their importance. This local effort is part of a larger mission: to ensure every American knows the full story of those who helped build this nation.
