I've known about Nelson and several other black men who have the courage to stand up against PC history and remind us how it really happened for several years now. The PC crowd wants to ignore or even deny the existence of blacks in gray during the War. For those who may not know, another black Confederate activist, H.K. Edgerton, marches across the South every year to support respect for Confederate history, heritage and symbols.
A hundred years from now, if there is still a United States, black men in gray uniforms will be participants in Civil War battle reenactments. Companies of Confederate soldiers made up of both black and white participants, will be led onto the field by a black man in a gray uniform proudly holding the Confederate Battle Flag. No one will notice.
In a hundred years, but not now.
