Colored men walking, boss. This is how I see this crossing of men black and white in the city of Philadelphia in 1863, right about now in July after the battle of Gettysburg. This was an honor guard of Union Soldiers who accompanied the Presidnt of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.in ceremonies over the Fourth of July weekend in Philadelphia on July 4, 2009. Black and white wouldn't have been marching together back then.

And you know what?

That's their loss.
