The men of Cincinnati’s Black Brigade were the first recognized African-American volunteers to the Union Army during the Civil War. After being initially forced to build fortifications against the Confederate army, these men bravely stepped up as volunteers for the 1862 Defense of Cincinnati.

A monument honoring the memory and valor of these men is being created and will be installed as the first piece of public art in our new Cincinnati

Riverfront Park in September 2011. Descendants of the Black Brigade will be recognized and honored during our community-wide dedication ceremonies for this important monument. This flyer lists the complete Muster Roll/roster of the Black Brigade. Please watch our website for information about the monument and the dedication honoring this significant chapter of our shared history.
