The first section of the exhibition shows vintage photographic portraits of the soldiers, the people who recruited them--including the noted abolitionists Frederick Douglass, Wendell
Phillips, Charles Lenox Remond, and Sojourner Truth--and the women who nursed, taught, and guided them, such as Clara Barton, Charlotte Forten, and Harriet Tubman.
