ADVANCE FOR USE SATURDAY, FEB. 6, AND THEREAFTER - FILE - In this May 26, 2014, file photo, Edwina W. Lindsey, a member of the St. Louis African-American History and Genealogy Society, looks at a graveside marker at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis. Graves of black soldiers who served in the Civil War are sometimes marked "U.S.C.I." for United States Colored Infantry, and it's been 150 years since those units began returning home from their service in the South, where more than 175,000 members fought - and in some cases, died - to free fellow African-Americans from slavery.
