One of the most important things that Hilary does in this book is move us away from thinking of Black Civil War memory as "counter-memory" to the Lost Cause/Reconciliation narrative. In doing so, we can more clearly see the richness of how African Americans remembered and commemorated the war. 🗃️

Happy book publication day! Writing and researching Unforgettable Sacrifice was a journey. I am forever grateful to my family and community kinskeepers who inspired the book and ensured that I narrated their past with accuracy, dignity, and respect. 1/3
