E-Mail Story Print Story Posted: Friday, 21 November 2008 9:44AM MA black Civil War infantry revived as ceremonial unit mjw Boston (AP)  -- The famed 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry is making a comeback. The all-black unit that won praise during the Civil War for its doomed charge on Battery Wagner in South Carolina in 1863, is being reorganized and redesignated as the Massachusetts National Guard's ceremonial unit. Gov. Deval Patrick and Maj. Gen. Joseph Carter, the adjutant general of the Massachusetts National Guard, are scheduled to hold a Statehouse ceremony on Friday to reactivate the unit. As a ceremonial unit, the 54th will conduct proper military honors at state functions and at funeral services for veterans. The unit's charge on Battery Wagner was commemorated in the 1989 movie "Glory." For his bravery in that battle, Sgt. William Carney became the first black to win the Medal of Honor.
