This beautiful memorial is located in the town of Clearview. Clearview is one of only 13 of the original 50 all-black towns founded in the early 20th Century. Today, the town has no commercial buildings, and only a population of 48, but the town is fiercely loyal and faithful to its memory of three of its former citizens.
The monument is a granite slab which is engraved and has been placed on a raised concrete platform, with two flagpoles. The monument reads:
Clearview War Memorial

We will never forget the three brave men who lost

The torch you threw us we caught
Millions of hands will hold it high
And freedoms light shall never die
