There will be a State Historical Plaque dedication at National Cemetery in Wilmington on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at

U.S. Colored Light Artillery at re-enactments, and  who also participates with our UDC members when we speak at schools, has been working for

some time to gain recognition for a group of black Union soldiers who are buried at National Cemetery.  These soldiers died at Fort Fisher.  The
