#OnThisDay 158 years ago, the Massachusetts 54th Volunteer Regiment made its legendary assault on Fort Wagner in Charleston, South Carolina. As the vanguard of the assault, the 54th faced heavy fire from the defending Confederates. 1/ #54thMA #Forward54th

"Governor Andrew of Massachusetts is authorized to raise such corps of infantry, for the volunteer military service, as he may find convenient, and may include persons of African descent."
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton #OnThisDay in 1863.
Looking at newspaper accounts of the 54th Massachusetts led us to this image of James Jameson, originally from Ithaca, New York. This image was taken in front of the Robert Gould Shaw/54th MA Memorial in 1917 during an August parade. #Forward54th #HistoricPhotoFriday
A great article about the craftspeople who are helping to restore the 54th Memorial this summer! The photos give you a good idea of how large this Memorial is. @MAAHMuseum @FOPG @BOAFNPS @BostonParksDept @CityOfBoston #Forward54th #54thMA
