African American veterans and their families and communities were essential to sustaining Black Civil War memory over the late 19th century and twentieth century. I discuss my own ancestor and others in Unforgettable Sacrifice. I proudly remembered them yesterday.

Since I'm traveling tomorrow, I post the image used for the cover of Unforgettable Sacrifice. Black communities always remembered the Civil War with parades and other Intergenerational traditions. “Negro G.A.R. veterans parading, New York City, May 30, 1912,” Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-132913.

Excited for this upcoming week. I get to celebrate students on Tuesday. I discuss my book at my favorite DC bookstore on Wednesday. I teach on Thursday. Then I head to Durham for the Carolina Chocolate Drops reunion concert with overworked friends this weekend. Happy Saturday!

I am glad to be able to be in conversation about the book and lessons for today at Busboys and Poets later this month. The book discusses many individuals and communities who chose remembrance as their politics in a landscape defined by lies, myths, and intentional forgetting. Come out if you can!

With pending construction near historic buildings, I adjusted the syllabus. Students did shovel tests. They found some pottery shards, broken ceramic plates, coal & old gravel used in the old pathways. They loved talking to the Dean, campus chaplain and campus archivists about it. #campushistory

Some interesting facts about Unforgettable Sacrifice. I organized the book around porches of my maternal, adopted, and paternal kinkeepers. With the exception of the Richmond chapter, I can tell you whose porch or porches where I heard some of the family and community histories covered in the book.
