Join us, members of  Company A of the 54th Massachusetts, and the Museum of African American History on Saturday, July 18 to commemorate the 54th Massachusetts’ sacrifice during their attack on Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding, learn more about the men of the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry and their fight to uphold America’s value of freedom for all. Let us come together to honor their bravery, reflect on their legacy, and keep their stories alive.
