Did you know the United States Colored Troops (USCTs) played a decisive role in the Union’s victory in the Civil War? These soldiers became known for their bravery and honor in the face of adversity from all sides.

This February, as part of our celebration of Black History Month, the Virginia War Memorial has invited the Civil War Museum to co-host a special event that delves into some of the lesser known personal histories of the USCTs. Please join us on Tuesday, Feburary 26 at 6:30 p.m. and discover the history and accomplishments of Virginian USCTs. Guest speakers dig into the stories of the African-American soldiers who fought for the Union, and for their own freedom.

North Carolina Election Scandal Deserves More Attention

Another editorial venture to national politics…

Virginians who are weary of their own state leadership scandals may want to take a moment to read up on the latest political news from neighboring state North Carolina.

Recently uncovered fraud has lead to calls for a new Congressional election there. But the truth is that there is a much bigger picture to consider…

Readers of this community news site may recall previous editorials that have supported vote recounts and more investigation.

It’s worth revisiting some of the past questions and revelations, including leaked National Security Agency documents that the mainstream, corporate media only gave cursory examination. They were so busy looking for proof of Russian interference that they glossed over so much historic domestic fraud.

Virginia citizens should be thankful that state officials made the decision to go back to paper ballots in 2017. But in other states, the recounts and democracy activists have made all the difference. They should be celebrated. Sadly, the corporate duopoly’s response is to punish them instead.

Election integrity is so important right now and must remain a priority going forward. Americans should be free to vote for the candidates they believe best represent their values and know their votes will count.
