DESCRIPTION:Learn the incredible story of the highest-ranking African American in the Civil War! \nJoin us at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on February 28 at 2:00 PM as historian and re-enactor Dr. Michael A. Hill presents the story of Brevet Lt. Col. Alexander T. Augusta\, M.D.: the first African American to be commissioned as a regimental surgeon with the rank of Major during the Civil War. The story of Dr. Augusta is a fascinating account of a man overcoming incredible odds to become a physician\, businessman\, and Civil Rights icon.\n\n\nMichael A. Hill\, M.D. graduated from George Washington University Medical School and retired from his internal medicine practice in 2019. He has been a Civil War re-enactor since 1989\, giving lectures on Civil War medicine during living histories and at schools.
