The Civil War Roundtable is pleased to sponsor this virtual presentation hosted by The Castle:  Fighting for Freedom: The Story of the United States Colored Troops

Almost 200,000 Black soldiers fought for the Union during the Civil War. Their story is a unique chapter in the American conflict. These men were freedom fighters who fought for emancipation and for full citizenship rights. Join Anthony Gibbs as he brings to life the stories of these events through dramatic first person interpretation. Mr. Gibbs will discuss events significant to these men that led up to the Civil War, and what made them different from the other thousands who fought and died in the War Between the States.
