Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park
Kennesaw, GA
This park preserves a significant Civil War battlefield. Beyond the military engagements, the park's history includes the stories of enslaved people who were part of the landscape, either forced to work for Confederate forces or seeking freedom with Union forces during the Atlanta Campaign.
Counter-Narrative
The myth this site refutes: that Black Americans were not trusted to fight for the country. They fought — and were still denied the rights they defended.
