" On July 18, 1863, six months after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation
Proclamation, one of the first American units composed of African Americans stormed
Fort Wagner in South Carolina, led by Colonel Robert Shaw Gould. Although the regiment
suffered great losses, the Massachusetts 54th Volunteer Infantry legitimized the idea
of blacks serving in the military, and Lincoln considered their sacrifice a turning
point in the Civil War. Twenty years later, sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens began
work on a bronze memorial for this heroic troop, which was installed on the Boston
Common in 1897. Tell It With Pride explores the enduring significance of this beloved
monument. Original daguerreotypes, carte-de-visite portraits, and a full listing of
the regiment's members, along with vintage and contemporary artworks by Matthew Brady,
Lewis Hine, and Carrie Mae Weems tell the story of the legacy of the Battle of Fort
Wagner and the role of photography in memorializing the regiment then and now. " ;
"Published 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, this catalogue presents
photographs of men who were part of one of the first African American regiments to
fight for the Union in the Civil War and explores the way the Shaw Memorial and other
works of art commemorate the sacrifices and hopes of the soldiers, their families,
and communities"
