The Franklin County USCT Monument Security Fund is established exclusively to safeguard the United States Colored Troops memorial located at the Historic First Baptist Church in Franklin County through enhanced security measures, ongoing monitoring, and preventive protection. This fund ensures the preservation, dignity, and historical integrity of the monument as a sacred tribute to the African American soldiers who courageously served in the Civil War. All contributions will be used solely to protect the site from vandalism, defacement, and other intentional acts that threaten this enduring symbol of history and honor.
