🇺🇸US Army Sgt. William H. Carney was the first African-American Medal of Honor recipient, earning the medal during the Union Army’s charge on Fort Wagner during the Civil War in 1863. Carney was born into slavery in Norfolk, Virginia, was granted freedom and moved to Massachusetts.

Carney was attached to the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry. In July 1863, Carney found himself in the fierce Battle of Fort Wagner. After being wounded, Carney saw that the color bearer had been shot down a few feet away. Carney summoned all his strength to retrieve the fallen colors and continued the charge. During the charge, Carney was shot several more times, yet he kept the colors flying high. Once delivering the flag back to his regiment, he shouted "The Old Flag never touched the ground!"
