It’s time to acknowledge the Black roots of Memorial Day​

One could consider May 1st, 1865, as the first Memorial Day.

On that day, newly freed slaves in Charleston, South Carolina, visited the graves of fallen Union soldiers and adorned the graves with flowers.

Indeed, many of the newly freed black men dug up mass graves of fallen Union soldiers and placed the bodies in coffins with a proper grave befitting their service.

Though many Black Americans fought and died for their freedom in the Civil War, it’s a historical fact that the vast majority of Union dead were white.

Black Americans in Charleston would not let the soldiers’ sacrifice go without solemn appreciation.

OP-ED: It's time to acknowledge the Black roots of Memorial Day

With Republican politicians trying to erase Black history from our schools, it's important to recognize the little-known origins of Memorial Day.
