Civil War event to highlight role of Union Army's Black troops in Manatee County

A local nonprofit will take a step into the past this weekend with a Civil War event, but attendees shouldn't expect battle re-enactments, shooting demonstrations or history lessons straight out of their high school textbook.

The organization plans to do this with an event on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1302 Fourth Ave. E., Bradenton, that will be free and open to the public.
