Countless histories have been written about the Civil War but very few of the United States Colored Troops, former slaves who fought valiantly in the Union Army. Fortunately, the great-great-great-granddaughter of one of those heroes is a local journalist, and what she found is remarkable. Tony sits down with veteran NY1 News anchor Cheryl Wills to hear how tragedy transformed itself into empowerment.
