The Cameron Art Museum is welcoming descendants of United States Colored Troops next month.
The museum put out a call for descendants of the 1st, 5th, 10th, 27th, and 37th United States Colored Troops regiments late last year.
A homecoming celebration will be held on November 11th to honor the descendants of those who fought in the Civil War.
The community is invited to the free event, promising fellowship through storytelling, music, reenactment and more.
“Descendants Homecoming day is more than a weekend event, it’s a culmination of many generations, 150+ years of steadfast community building in Wilmington, the greater state of North Carolina and the nation as a whole,” CAM Cultural Curator Daniel Jones said.
