It features a central figure holding a Medal of Honor, standing before a backdrop of silhouetted soldiers and a flag.

The phrases 'Their service broke the Confederacy’s spine' and 'Proven in blood before the nation granted rights' are prominently displayed, along with hashtags #ReceiptsFirst and #USCT, emphasizing the historical significance and recognition of their contributions.

They called it “honor”; it was massacre under a flag.

Lincoln armed Black troops when Congress gave him cover—**after** the Militia Act of 1862. Before that, he feared border-state backlash.
~180,000 USCT fought to save a Union that still denied them equal rights.
