Join Michigan author and historian Maurice Imhoff as he talks about his latest book: The 1st Michigan Colored Regiment: Free Men Who Fought Slavery. The 1st Michigan Colored Regiment was the state’s first and only African American regiment during the Civil War. Courageously enlisting amid societal turmoil, these determined men fought valiantly, on the battlefield and off, in the struggle for liberty and equality. Weaving together personal accounts and historical context, author Maurice Imhoff vividly recounts the extraordinary journey of this unit and honors the legacy of those who stood firm in the face of adversity. Books will be available for sale and signing.
