Enslaved Workers Left Marks on Fort Pulaski-- Part 1

From the Feb. 9, 2021, Kansas City Star "Enslaved workers left their marks in the bricks of Civil War-era fort, Georgia photos show" by Tanasia Kenney

Nearly 25 million brocks were used to construct Savannah, Georgia's Fort Pulaski which was mostly built by black enslaved workers.

Photos shared  by the Fort Pulaski National Monument on Monday show bricks with fingerprints and handprints still embedded in them all these years later (and, after that bombardment back during the war).

It took 18 years to complete Fort Pulaski and none other than Robert E. Lee touted it was impregnable.  However, the stories of those enslaved workers have never been told.  However, there is a part of that story in Casemate 16.
