ENAbout
1,633 Black Catholics are buried in unmarked graves in St. Louis Cemetery in Louisville, KY. Many of the men served in the Union army during the Civil War (the US Colored Troops), as Buffalo Soldiers, and in World War I. This project collects military records, especially pension files, that were uncovered from the National Archives. They will be used to tell these men's stories and, crucially, to get headstones from the Veterans Affairs department.
