BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE WAR OF THE SLAVEOWNERS’ REBELLION: A Presentation Based on the Memoirs of Civil War Veteran Norman P. Hallowell

The book Black Soldiers in the War of the Slaveowners’ Rebellion, edited by Quentin Davis, is composed of selected letters and papers of Hallowell, one of the "Fighting Quakers" and a very active Abolitionist. Hallowell was for a time commander of the 55th, the second all-black Massachusetts Regiment. He admired his men greatly and most of the book is about them. The presentation by Quentin Davis and members of the Peter Brace Brigade (Civil War re‑enactors of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment) will take place at the Community Church of Boston on 565 Boylston Street (Copley Square, between Arlington and Copley Square T Stops).
