In the 1940s, July 6th was Independence Day for Disabled Civilians. #DisHist

But Rev. Hill would actually play a critically important role in the fight against the KKK, delivering critical testimony to Congress that sparked important - but insufficient - federal action. #DisHist #BlackHistory

An 1871 article describes Reverend Elias Hill, a black, disabled preacher who was brutally assaulted by the KKK in South Carolina. The newspaper describes Rev. Hill's disability before mentioning the attack or Hill's work with the Union League. #DisHist #BlackHistory

Rev. Hill's local newspaper, the Yorkville Enquirer, published an excerpt of the Philadelphia Press article leaving out the KKK attack entirely, presenting him only as a local curiosity. #DisHist #BlackHistory

[Invalid Corps Film @InvalidCorps]

Take a moment to peek into history. Do you know who owned the land that would become Fort Stevens? It was Elizabeth Thomas #theinvalid #theinvalidcorps #veteran #disabilitystrong #disability #soldiers #ussoldiers #civilwar #history #ushistory #smithsonian #fortstevens

[Invalid Corps Film @InvalidCorps]

The Invalid Corps was so despised that there was even a Civil War song making fun of them.
