For the Cause is committed to restoring and preserving
the Yellow Hill “colored cemetery” located
north of Gettysburg, where two veterans of the U. S.
Colored Troops were originally interred. Proceeds from
Gettysburg Histories presentations support rehabilitation
of this abandoned and forgotten site. To learn more
