One of the items that brought together the Civil War soldiers and sometimes led to moments of civility and understanding was coffee. No single item of food or drink meant as much to Civil War soldiers. They talked about coffee, wrote about coffee, and dreamed about coffee. Based on first hand written accounts, this program describes the different methods Civil War soldiers obtained, brewed and shared their coffee and how these actions sometimes brought them brief moments of peace, comfort and kindness.
Each year, the Kenosha Coalition for Dismantling Racism hosts a week affiliated with continuing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of kindness and community. In 2025, Kindness Week programming will occur from January 17-25.
