EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Arlington, Va. Band of the 107th U. S. Colored Infantry at Fort Corcoran in 1865. The image showcases a group of African American soldiers proudly standing together in their uniforms, instruments in hand, ready to make music that would inspire and uplift. These brave men were part of the Union army during the Civil War, fighting for freedom and equality amidst a divided nation. Their presence here represents strength, resilience, and determination in the face of adversity. The band members are seen holding various musical instruments, symbolizing not only their love for music but also their ability to bring harmony even during times of war. Their melodies must have provided solace and motivation to both themselves and their fellow soldiers on the battlefield. Located in Arlington, Virginia, Fort Corcoran served as an important stronghold during this tumultuous period. This photograph serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice made by these individuals who fought against oppression while proudly representing their country. Preserved through time by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, this image now resides within a private collection. It stands as a reminder of America's complex past while honoring those who played an instrumental role in shaping its future.
