William Harvey Carney (1840–1908) was a heroic Civil War soldier and the first Black recipient of the Medal of Honor for his valor with the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. Though wounded multiple times during the assault on Fort Wagner (1863), he famously held up the U.S. flag under fire, declaring “Boys, the old flag never touched the ground!”—a symbol of Black resilience in the fight for freedom. 📚📕✊🏽 📙 Visit our Black History Book Store - https://rebrand.ly/FBBookShop #blackexcellist #blackh

Sergeant William Carney was the first African-American to earn the Medal of Honor. Carney won it for gallantry during an action at Fort Wagner during the Civil War. He refused to allow the Stars and Stripes to touch the ground, despite suffering grievous wounds. Carney survived the battle but only posthumously received the Medal of Honor in 1900 after years of systemic discrimination. | History Collection
