Kellee Green Blake will share stories of Shoremen who fought in the famed United States “Colored” Troops (USCT). These local men, many enslaved before the war, won major battles, led in the liberation of Richmond, and saw Lee surrender. With disparate pay, inconsistent support, and unimaginable demands, they nevertheless risked all to “smite for liberty
Blake is retired Director of National Archives-Mid Atlantic Region; she is well known on the Shore for her historically based play, articles, and lectures on the Civil War.
