Since the time of the American Revolution, African Americans have volunteered to serve their country in time of war, and have always performed beyond the call of duty. The Civil War was no exception.
During the Civil War, seventeen African-American soldiers earned the Medal of Honor - the nation's highest award for bravery and courage in combat. Their magnificent contributions and accomplishments have remained virtually untold and unnoticed for nearly 140 years - until now.
On October 10th and 11th, 2003, the United States Colored Troops Institute, under the steadfast leadership of Harry Bradshaw Matthews, will hold its third Regional Conference, at the Hilton Hotel in Columbia, Maryland.
The objective of this conference is to recognize and honor those brave Afro-Warriors who fought and died to liberate more than four million men, women and children from the institution of slavery.
