Gilmor Camp #1388, and the Maryland Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy. The purpose of this ceremony is to honor General Robert Edward Lee and General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson on the anniversary of their births, January 19, 1807 and January 21, 1824 respectively. The ceremony will also remember and honor the thousands of soldiers who served the Confederacy during the War Between the States. In previous years, many of you have attended this ceremony even in the coldest weather and because of your effort and dedication to the memory of the Confederate soldier, the ceremony has always been a great success. We would like to once again cordially invite you and your reenactment unit, patriotic organization, and your family and friends to participate in this important annual event. The Lee/ Jackson ceremony will be held on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014, at 11 a.m. The Lee/Jackson Monument is located at Art Museum Drive and Wyman Park Drive about two blocks west of Charles Street and across from the Baltimore Museum of Art. This year we will assemble across from the monument. Paid on street parking by credit card may be required. We cannot park on the Johns Hopkins campus and probably not on their parking lots. There is free parking on some side streets. Continued on page 6

4 Page 4 United Daughters of Confederacy Make History with Induction By Katie Martin The weather may have been gloomy in Savannah on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013, but Georgia Benton was all smiles as she was inducted into the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Not only is Benton the first African-American member in the Savannah Chapter, but she s also the first in the state of Georgia. A lot of people when they hear the word confederate they run, said Savannah Chapter 2 President Elizabeth Piechocinski. But what they don t realize is that there were a large number of African-Americans who served in the confederacy. Some were musicians or body servants, but some also fought. Benton s great-grandfather, George W. Washington, a slave in Sumter County, S.C., went off to war as the body servant of his master, Lt. Alex McQueen. The pair served in numerous battles together, most notably the Battle of Sharpsburg and the Battle of Gettysburg. Benton said that through the years her grandmother had passed down stories of Washington and his service during the war, so she already had a lot of the documents and information she needed to get started with the process of joining the organization. I thought, wait a minute, I deserve the same right to be a part of a group who are honoring their forefathers, said Benton. Very little is known about black confederate soldiers, so if I can be a starting point in letting the world know the history and making them aware that African-Americans have fought in every war in history, then I m proud to stand up for my great-grandfather. I m honored because he helped form the United States of America, he was a part of that movement and not too many people are aware of that. I m standing here with honor and pride. Benton said it took her about two months to compile the documents needed to trace her family lineage and because there aren t a lot of enlistment records for African-American confederate soldiers it did take patience and a lot of digging, but Benton believes that she can help enhance the organization with her knowledge of African-American soldiers roles in the Civil War. My son tells me I m a trailblazer, because I was also involved in the community Civil Rights movement in Port Wentworth. So, trailblazing, making a difference, I guess it s in my blood. It s just something that you do, Benton said. united-daughters-confederacy-make-historyinduction PHOTO BY KATIE MARTIN/ SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS Georgia Benton (left) is inducted Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013, into the United Daughters of the Confederacy Savannah Chapter 2 by President Elizabeth Piechocinski.
