Deep inside Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago’s predominantly African-American Grand Crossing neighborhood, a 40 foot–tall monument looms over
a grave of Southern rebels. The bronze likeness of a nameless soldier
marks Confederate Mound, the South Side resting place of more than 6,000
Confederate fighters who died at Camp Douglas, a Civil War military
prison that stood in present-day Bronzeville.
