In
2007, I visited the African American Civil War Museum & Memorial in
Washington DC for the first time. The Wall of Honor lists the names of
209,145 United States Colored Troops drawn from the official records of
the Bureau of United States Colored Troops at the National Archives, on
166 burnished stainless steel plaques arranged by regiment. One of the
names on the Wall of Honor is John Malveaux. Visitors are encouraged to
investigate if they are descendants of the USCT. When a match was
determined by the county-St. Landry Parish, Louisiana of my ancestors
and the enlistment location of the USCT named John Malveaux, the Museum
presented me a Certificate as a descent. My oldest daughter, Mia
Malveaux Manns, husband, and two grandsons have since visited the
Museum.
