From the February Wayne County, North Carolina, History Museum.
On Saturday, February 20 the museum will be having the grand opening of its new exhibit "Fighting For Freedom: The 135th USCT, Black Soldiers of the Civil War." (United States Colored Troops)
This is in collaboration with the 125th USCT research team.
There will be a video posted on the museum's Facebook page and You Tube channel that day at 1 p.m. (EST). There will be interviews with descendants of the regiment's soldiers and their histories.
The 135th USCT were organized in 1865 in Goldsboro, North Carolina. For more information on the 135th, click on the label below.
In addition, for Black History Month, there will be exhibits at the museum on the old Central High School and the Little Washington neighborhood.
I'd sure like to go to the museum and see these exhibits, but alas, I live 1100 miles away.
Should Be Interesting. --Old Secesh
