    The Shaw Memorial was unveiled on May 31, 1897, amid a great ceremony. Among the speakers was Booker T. Washington. The president of Tuskegee Ins ute, who declared that his heart went out "to those who wore gray as well as to those clothed in blue..."

    More eloquent than any speech, though, was the moment when Sergeant William H.Carney, who had won a Medal of Honor for saving the 54th's national flag at Fort Wagner, came forward bearing the standard once more. "In dramatic effect, I have never seen or experienced anything which equaled this," wrote Washington. "For a number of minutes the audience seemed to entirely lose control of itself."

    Especially if someone asked you point blank because you'd fold.
