A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
| To commend the members of the Black Brigade for their
defense of Cincinnati in 1862 and to designate the members as veterans of the American Civil War.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, In September 1862, when Confederate forces were
threatening Cincinnati, the commander of Union forces for the
defense of Cincinnati, Major General Lew Wallace, ordered all men
of the city, including African Americans, to build defenses for
the city; and |
| WHEREAS, Initially, the African-American men were treated
poorly by the city government and Union troops protecting the
city, but this soon changed when William Dickson, a respected
citizen of Cincinnati, was given command of the African-American
men and organized them into the Black Brigade; and |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Black Brigade were recognized by
the engineers in charge of building the defenses as the hardest
working and most efficient of all the laborers who were involved
in that effort. After the threat to the city had ended, the Black
Brigade was disbanded, and many of the former members of the Black
Brigade entered military service and served in the first Union
military units for African Americans; and |
| WHEREAS, Although other citizens who participated in the
defense of Cincinnati were recognized at the time by the General
Assembly, the members of the Black Brigade received no such
recognition. It is only fitting that they finally be recognized
for their significant contributions to defending their city, their
state, and their country; and |
| WHEREAS, The distinguished members of the Black Brigade
included: |
| William M. Dickson...............
