The train north from New Orleans and through Mississippi brought refugees from Jim Crow to the City of Big Shoulders.
Freedom isn’t theory here. It’s action.

Iron Brigade, 1863.
They marched east to defend the Union—earning a name for grit at Antietam and Gettysburg.

On, Wisconsin!

And we’re not alone.
Across the country, more people are remembering differently. Hosting local events. Telling forgotten stories. Reconnecting patriotism with justice.

We organize small gatherings. We tend to neglected plots. We share names, stories, images, and hopes.
