Feb. 15 William Harvey Carney was born in 1840 in slavery. He escaped using the Underground Railroad and found his father living in Massachusetts. Eventually father and son purchased the rest of their family out of slavery. He was an African-American soldier during the American Civil War. He was awarded the Medal of Honor on May 23, 1900 posthumously for his actions during the Battle of Fort Wagner. Sgt. Carney received his Medal of Honor for saving the American Flag and planting it on the parapet, despite being wounded several times in the process. Although his actions were very heroic, he did not receive his medal until 37 years later. This made him the last African-American to be awarded the Medal for Civil War Service. The attack on Fort Wagner is depicted in the movie “Glory” starring Denzel Washington as William Harvey Carney. ===================================================================== ===================================================================== 3rd Period Advisory Today ===================================================================== ===================================================================== ===================================================================== ===================================================================== ===================================================================== {1} Say “Please Pause for a Moment of Silence” {10-15 seconds} {2} Do the Pledge of Allegiance Say: Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance – SALUTE - PLEDGE…. ”I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.” {3} End Announcements with the phrase below: Remember Freshman Center this school runs on Panther PRIDE! .
