Pennsylvania Grand Review
In November 1865 citizens of Harrisburg, PA gathered to honor the black Union troops who were not allowed to march in Washington D.C. in the Grand Review of the Armies. November 4-7 will be a commemoration of this event.
This has always amazed me, frankly, considering that the Congress was about to punish the South with martial law and Reconstruction.
