    I briefly lived in Colonel Young's house while a student at Wilberforce University in the 1960s. I recall a second building, a small barn structure. I was told it was used to house formerly enslaved people traveling to Canada and was considered a stop on the Underground Railroad. I'm so thankful for the Young family.

    The first time I noticed that there were zinc tombstones was at Mount Holly in Little Rock when we had snow one the ground. The rest of the tombstones were so dark against the snow and the zinc ones took on a pale periwinkle color. Then I noticed how sharp the relief images were and had to do some research! They are still in good shape, as far as I know. There is one here in Jonesboro, Arkansas that must have been hit by a falling limb and it caused a bend in a corner junction, which is now rusting a bit. Overall, still in better shape than many of the stone headstones though.

    The book is excellently written by a scholar who takes a largely misrepresented position and systematically (and cogently) dismantles the argument succinctly.

    1. Correct name is the Medal of Honor. Congress has nothing to do with it. Proof: If Congress had anything to do with awarding it, every Congressman would have one. 2. One is awarded or has received the Medal of Honor. One does not "win" it. It is not an Oscar or some sports trophy.

    There is this new thing called Google, if you Google 'Congressional Medal of Honor', even a child could read all about the "Congressional Medal of Honor Society" or the "Congressional Medal of Honor recipients", or even the Congressional Medal of Honor stories in the Library of Congress. Trolls are so predictable. Do some research.

    Hi Olivia, Thanks for the history lesson. Just a point of clarification, the decoration is the Medal of Honor. While the MOH might be approved by Congress, the word Congressional is not part of the title. It is not the Congressional Medal of Honor. Also, the MOH is not something you win and are awarded. It is earned and it is presented.
