Past “Glory”: Black Civil War Veterans (1865-1918)

Many times, the stories of veterans end with their service during a war. What happened to the Black Civil War soldiers after their time in uniform? Retired educator Paul LaRue will examine the challenges and opportunities faced by Black Civil War Veterans following their service in the war. This program is open to the public and free of charge.

Paul LaRue is the recipient of numerous state and national teaching awards. He currently co-chairs the America 250-Ohio K-12 Education Committee. In January he was elected president of the State Board of Education.
