Four Centuries Of African-American Soldiers In Trenton, New Jersey On February 23, 2019

Today, I took a trip to The Old Barracks Museum in Trenton, New Jersey.  In honor of Black History Month, the Museum hosted the Four Centuries Of African-American Soldiers exhibit.  The following photographs and video give a sample of what was to be seen.  The exhibit will be at the Museum tomorrow as well.  More can be seen, including a weapons demonstration, if you wish to make the trek.
