Marquett Milton, a Civil War reenactor, stands watch at the African American Civil War Memorial in Washington, DC. He is portraying a member of the United States Colored Troops, which was a part of the Union army during the Civil War. He is wearing a skyblue greatcoat, which was used during the winter months. Milton is also a volunteer at the African American Civil War Museum, which is across the street from the Memorial.
We must begin a national project to restore all Civil War Headstones of USCT. So many are in disrepair from neglect and vandalism. What about our nation historic black cemetery Mt Ararat. Shame on us.
