I wanted to take the time to add some posts to my African American Mounuments Category and decided to select the African American Civil War Monument in Washington, D.C.  For many, myself included, who haven’t been to D.C. in years this may be a monument and musuem that you have never heard about and/or never seen.  It is a memorial/museum, opened in 1999, for the purpose of educating it’s visitors on the African American’s struggle for freedom during that era.  Below you will find a picture of the African American Civil War Memorial as well as links where you can find additional information for those would like to see it in person or learn more about the monument, memorial or museum.
