Soldiers' Memorial at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO, stands as a tribute to the African American soldiers of the 62nd and 65th United States Colored Infantry who fought for emancipation and equality during the Civil War. Established in 1866, the memorial honors their legacy and the establishment of Lincoln Institute, the first school founded by African descent soldiers for freedmen in Missouri.

The memorial features a central statue sculpted by Ed Dwight Studios, depicting soldiers and their white commander, Capt. Richard Baxter Foster, symbolizing the struggle for educational uplift and academic excellence. Surrounding the main monument is Soldiers Memorial Plaza, designed to commemorate the foresight and vision of the founders and provide a reflective space for visitors.
