Andre’ M. Boyd: 'We must remember this time period, for it is the strength that will fuel during the difficult times that lay ahead for our country.”
The sacrifice of blood on America’s battlefields and on foreign soil should make us all pause and renew our efforts to work together for the common good of the nation.
Under the direction and order of then United States Sen. James Henry Lane and the command of Colonel James Monroe Williams, the first African American Union militia was formed. The hopes, faith and dreams of more than four million enslaved people rested in the hands of the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
On Oct. 28, 1862, however, the tide of history would change forever. The two-day Battle of Island Mound is where men who had only known slavery, whips and chains their entire life would muster the bravery and courage to win. The preservation of the United States of America is something we should all hold dear, no matter our internal strife and differences. The sacrifice of blood on America’s battlefields and on foreign soil should make us all pause and renew our efforts to work together for the common good of the nation.
