Erected in 1905 and long neglected by the elements, this rare monument stands as one of the few nationwide specifically commemorating Black soldiers. Community groups, including the Women’s Relief Corps and the Daughters of Union Veterans, joined forces with the Wyandotte County Historical Society to fund and preserve it, underscoring the vital need to remember and honor the often-overlooked sacrifices of people of color in American history.
