Our Mission

The mission of the Gospel Army Black History Group is to inspire and educate America’s youth about the rich history of American slave liberation, the role of the United States Colored Troops, and the power of their faith that motivated them. Through stories of American slave liberation, told from the perspective of contemporaneous African Americans and abolitionists, the enslaved people and USCT are portrayed as victors, not victims. Their adversities and achievements provide a powerful narrative of purpose and resiliency which offer meaning, purpose, and self-esteem to America’s youth today.
