Colored Soldiers Monument in Frankfort
Colored Soldiers Monument in Frankfort, Civil War memorial in Green Hill Cemetery, Frankfort, United States
The limestone pillar stands 10 feet tall with a concrete base and features inscriptions of 142 African American soldiers from central Kentucky.
The Woman's Relief Corps No. 8, an auxiliary of the Grand Army of the Republic, unveiled this monument on July 4, 1924.
The monument represents Kentucky's 23,703 Black soldiers who joined Union regiments after March 1, 1864, receiving immediate emancipation upon enlistment.
Located at the junction of US 60 and US 421, this monument remains one of four memorials in the United States dedicated to Black Civil War soldiers.
The inscribed names on the monument document the military service of African American soldiers who fought in Tennessee and North Carolina during the Civil War.
