Grosse Pointe Academy
Save the Flags had the opportunity to present to two classes at the Grosse Pointe Academy on February 26, 2025. The talks focused on the service of the 102nd United States Colored Troops—a unit raised in Michigan that trained in Detroit at Camp Ward, literally just down the street from the Grosse Pointe Academy. We would like to thank the teachers (Trevor Clor and Dayan Marjanovic) and Grosse Pointe War Memorial historian Betsy Alexander for their great hospitality and kindness.
