Bipartisan legislation in Ohio would designate Feb. 20 as “Black Ohioan Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient Day” to honor Black soldiers from Ohio who earned the nation’s highest military decoration.
Senate Bill 253 is sponsored by Sens. Hearcel F. Craig, D-Columbus, and Michele Reynolds, R-Canal Winchester. The measure aims to recognize valor by Ohioans who fought in the Civil War and to promote public awareness of their service.
If enacted, the designation would create an annual day of recognition for schools, local governments and civic groups to commemorate these recipients.
