Added Photos

I've added 5 photos of the memorial. The lighting isn't great but I think they are better than nothing. Leave a message on my talk page if you have comments or suggestions for further photos. I have removed this article from Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Washington, D.C. --Asiir 20:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?

Since this has a redirect from African American Civil War Museum to this article, don't you think the article should be retitled African American Civil War Memorial and Museum? The museum gets rather lost in the coverage here, but has moved to a new facility and is sponsoring good programs. Unless someone (or more than one someones) give good reasons to leave it as is, I will be moving the article to the new suggested title.Parkwells (talk) 19:07, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

proposing addition

I've been working recently on one article but I think there are several people who have articles that must appear on the monument somewhere. Shall we have a section?

Notable mentions

discussion

digging for cites will be a bit of work but could be emulated based on the ones for Chase.

A question could be does the cite have to be specific that the name is on the memorial or just that there is documentation of service in a USCT/USCI division and the general cite as quoted about overall who's names appear?Smkolins (talk) 12:56, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

209,145

In my reading that number is just the enlisted black soldiers of the army. The navy is additional and can't be separately named individually because the Navy wasn't segregated and thus so separate divisions are not separable as to who actually had black participants. Additionally the 209,145 number seems, on my reading, to not include the 7k white officers who served with the black regiments or the 3k hispanics (and I saw a Hawaiian in the talk section above.) Just wondering if the language should be tweaked to acknowledge all on the memorial… Smkolins (talk) 13:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

African Americans and the CSA.

You did include the three to six thousand African Americans that served for the CSA right? They served in the Navy, the artillery, the Infantry, and the calvary. Have a nice day. Fub snafu Fub6060 (talk) 18:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On my reading of the way the number is described in sources and now in the text I would say yes they were already included. If you had some source for the 3-6k AA in the CSA that might be citable. Smkolins (talk) 10:09, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested photo

Looks like there was a requested photo in 2007, and then a Commons photo got deleted in 2018 for not being in the public domain yet. Added again to the Washington, D.C. requested photo category. --Engineerchange (talk) 15:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
