| | Frank Smith,
Ph.D., during his four elected terms with the District Council, Washington,
DC, laid the basic groundwork to establish a national memorial for African American
troops who served in the Civil War. Fulfilling a lifelong dream to honor African
Americans who fought for freedom as USCT, he oversaw the dedication of the African
American Civil War Memorial in July 1998. Toward that goal, Dr. Smith used a lifetime
of leadership experience to secure financing, District support, and the active
involvement of public and private agencies to establish the Memorial and Museum.
