Micheal Cherry is an historian, reenactor, an author. r. Cherry is the author of 19teenth: Dedicated to the Proposition. In 19teenth: “Dedicated to the Proposition,” historian and descendant Michael Cherry unearths the forgotten footsteps of the United States Colored Troops, tracing how enslaved men who fought for the Union helped rewrite America’s promise of freedom. Blending meticulous archival research with deeply personal family history, this compelling narrative moves beyond textbooks to show how 1860s struggles for citizenship directly echo today’s conversations on equity, inclusion, and racial justice.
