a non-profit, tax-exempt, corporation. The corporation is run by a
Board of Directors which includes six officers. The Board of 
Directors and officers are elected by the general membership 
annually.

Company A 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry/Colored 
Ladies Christian Relief Association is a permanent standing 
committee of members who carry out the educational programs
of the corporation. Company A strives to present the most
accurate portrayal possible of the most famous regiment of the

of the 54th, the contributions of African American women in the
Civil War. Through public programs, Company A/Colored Ladies 
seek to expand citizens’ awareness of the role of African 
Americans in the Civil War period. Recognizing the relevance of 
the 54th’s issues of justice and equality to today’s society,
Company A/Colored Ladies work to promote civic responsibility 
among all young people in Boston and the Commonwealth.
