Join us for the official launch of The 1st Michigan Colored Regiment: Free Men Who Fought Slavery, a powerful new book published by The History Press. This compelling historical account tells the story of Michigan’s first and only African American regiment during the Civil War, men who enlisted amid deep societal division and fought valiantly for liberty, equality, and the future of the Union.Though many were born in the South, these brave individuals returned there to fight for the freedom of others. In doing so, they defied prejudice and helped preserve the Union, leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Through vivid storytelling and historical insight, the publication brings to life the extraordinary journey of this courageous unit. Join us for an evening of storytelling, reflection, and community as we honor their enduring impact. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
