malcolm beech sr. >> thank you very much. dinlt realize i was that long and been around that long.hese reenactments and you start thinking about the 1800s. maybe i have been around for a while. good morning to all of you and i really wanted to thank you all for coming out. this stamp and the ceremony surrounding it means a lot to us. we are re-enactors. we are commemorators of the thousands of african-americans who fought for their freedom during the american civil war. we go all over the country not only doing reenactments but we do living history demonstrations. what we find is the impact on our audience, especially the young audience, is our superintendent said earlier, they can see themselves in histo history. when they see us, they see people that look like them and they understand how important this particular war was to the african-american community. just to put it in perspective, before the civil war began, african-americans citizens enslaved in the united states. after the civil war was over in 1865, there was zero, okay. that is the most significant event in the history
