At Port Royal, South Carolina, the 1st South Carolina Colored Infantry receives its regimental colors

The 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry was formed in late 1862 from escaped slaves from South Carolina and Florida.  As part of a celebration of emancipation at Port Royal, the regiment received its colors from its colonel, Thomas Higginson.  Sergeant Prince Rivers, the new color sergeant, then addressed the crowd.  The unit was one of the first federally organized black regiments and became the 33rd U.S.C.T. in February, 1864. (By John Osborne)

In Union Square in New York City, the 20th U. S. C. T. receives its colors and departs for New Orleans

The men of the 20th United States Colored Infantry Regiment left their camp on Rikers Island, New York and landed in New York City.  They marched, through streets where ant-black draft riots had raged the previous July, to Union Square.  There, watched by a crowd some estimated as large as 100,000, they received their colors from Charles King, president of Columbia College.  The regiment then took ship for New Orleans, Louisiana.  (By John Osborne)
