Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book gives readers an in-depth look at the experiences of African Americans in the First World War. Focusing on the efforts of the 6th Regiment of the Ohio National Guard, the author uses military documents, newspaper accounts, and personal narratives to highlight the challenges, prejudices, and spirit of this regiment. The book offers an important perspective on the history of African Americans in the 20th century and the complexities of racial equality, patriotism, and fighting for a country that does not afford equal rights or recognition to its Black citizens. The historical context of the book illuminates the deep-rooted racism of the pre-civil rights era, revealing the systemic obstacles and institutionalized discrimination that the soldiers of the 6th Regiment faced. Yet, the book also shines a light on the resilience and determination of these soldiers and their belief in the promise of America. Through their experiences, readers gain insight into the personal sacrifices, everyday struggles, and collective triumphs of African Americans in the early 20th century. Ultimately, this book reveals the significant contributions of Black soldiers during WWI and explores how their service paved the way for future generations of African Americans in the military and beyond.
