USCT Grand Review in Pennsylvania

This blog entry was accidentally published in my Roadlog blog this date at http://roaddogsroadlog.blogspot.com.

This Nov. 4-7th, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is holding the 145th anniversary commemoration of of the Grand Review organized by the women of the city when they found out that the United States Colored Troops were not allowed to participate in the two-day Grand Review that took place in Washington, DC, at the war's conclusion, May 23 and 24, 1865.

You have to wonder why they were not allowed to march in the DC one.

Wanting to Know. --B-R'er
