Join author Jeff Kluever for a compelling presentation on the brave men of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) who fought for freedom and justice during the Civil War - including those with deep ties to Iowa. Learn about their sacrifices, their triumphs, and the powerful legacy they left behind.
This presentation will also highlight the extraordinary life of Christian A. Fleetwood, a USCT sergeant major and Medal of Honor recipient whose courage at New Market Heights became a symbol of heroism and hope, and is featured in the presenter's new book, Marching Home: A Story of Love, War, and Freedom, which will be available for sale after the presentation.
