At the close of the Civil War, facing new lives as freed men, the soldiers of the 62nd and 65th Colored Infantries saw an opportunity for personal growth and were eager to learn reading, writing, and other basic skills from Lt. Richard Baxter Foster. Please thoughtfully consider joining us for a special tribute during our 150th Sesquicentennial year.

Individual Tickets: $125 | Table: $1,000

For tickets, sponsorship opportunities or to make a donation, please visit the Ticket URL above, or contact Chris Jones at (573) 681-5056; jonesc2@lincolnu.edu.
