    #ProudBlue #Defend If you haven’t watched “Glory” do it now. It’s about the 54th Mass. Volunteer Infantry in 1863 - the first all Black unit in the Civil War. The Zinn Education Project calls it “the most powerful and historically accurate movie” about the Civil War. Hard to watch, but we should.

    There’s a moment in the classic film “Paths of Glory” in which an artillery officer, told to commit a war crime, asks for the order in writing. That is happening right now, in real life, among US troops in the Carribbean. Except in the movie, the demand kept the crime from happening.

    Home. Spent a quiet few minutes at the old ‘roundhouse’ where the trains used to be moved around. Last time I stood in this space was 1988 when they filmed the movie Glory here in Savannah, and this was one of the locations. We cut classes & watched them film. Life truly is a flat circle.

    Sgt. William Carney, "a Black soldier who was awarded the Medal of Honor at the Civil War battle retold as the finale of the 1989 movie Glory, has been scrubbed from a Pentagon website, with an article on the soldier labeled as “DEI” in the now-broken web link." Disgraceful on every level. #BlackSky

    Robert Gould Shaw was born in Boston OTD in 1837. He commanded the all-Black 54th Massachusetts Inf. in the Civil War. He & many of his soldiers were KIA in 1863. The 54th was immortalized in the 1989 film “Glory.” Read @civilwarmemory.bsky.social’s new biography of him! Image: Public domain.
