Shadrick Searcy Headstone
Description
Photograph of two headstones for former camp slave, Shadrick Searcy
This is an excellent example of how the Sons of Confederate Veterans have manipulated the history of former camp slaves. Notice that the older marker refers properly to Searcy's legal status as enslaved while the newer military-style marker, placed there by the SCV, refers to him as a private. Searcy is buried in Chattanooga's Confederate cemetery.
