The 6th USCT carried into battle that day the national colors and a blue regimental flag that was given to them in Pennsylvania bearing the motto, “Freedom for All.” Both flags, and the men who proudly carried them into fight, went down within minutes. This painting shows the moment when Lt. Nathan Edgerton and Sgt. Major Thomas R. Hawkins arrived to bear away the regimental flag. Coming to the rescue of the national colors was First Sergeant Alexander Kelly. He recalled that “after the color guard was all either killed or wounded…we got orders to retire.” Kelly weighed the risk and “seeing the flag was being left I seized them and carried them to rear where I rallied the few remaining men.” This haunting image by master historical artist Don Troiani depicts what is the most important day in African American military history. |
