The African American Civil War Memorial, at the corner of Vermont Avenue and U Street NW in Washington, D.C., commemorates the service of 209,145 African-American soldiers and sailors who fought for the Union in the American Civil War.

The memorial was developed by the African American Civil War Memorial Freedom Foundation and Museum. It was transferred to the National Park Service on October 27, 2004, and is managed by National Mall and Memorial Parks.

The museum, located two blocks west of the memorial in the historic U Street neighborhood, opened to the public in January 1999. Its mission is to allow visitors, researchers, and descendants of the United States Colored Troops to better understand this story of the struggle for freedom.
