Answer:

Far more below

Explanation:

It was not awarded to him just because he carried the flag during the battle.  He retrieved the flag from the original fallen flag bearer.  He sustained several wounds while carrying the flag.  He planted the flag in the parapet of Fort Wagner.  Then when the Union army was forced to retreat, he grabbed the flag and once again carried it back to safety with the 54th volunteer regiment of Massachusetts.  When back with the regiment, he finally gave the flag to another volunteer and was quoted as saying "Boys, I did but my duty; the dear old flag never touched the ground".  After this battle, he was honorably discharged due to all the wounds he received during the battle.

That among other things is why is was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Niagra movement 1905​
USPshnik [31]
The Niagara Movement was a civil-rights group founded in 1905 near Niagara Falls. Scholar and activist W. E. B. Du Bois gathered with supporters on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls to form an organization dedicated to social and political change for African Americans. Its list of demands included an end to segregation and discrimination in unions, the courts, and public accommodations, as well as equality of economic and educational opportunity. Although the Niagara Movement had little impact on legislative action, its ideals led to the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.
