Episode 103: African Americans in WWI
Today we’re looking at African Americans at war in 1917-18 - nearly 400,000 thousand men in uniform, most assigned to hard, essential labor, a smaller number fighting in segregated units that navigated American racial policy and coalition warfare at the same time.
We’ll trace that story from recruitment and training through service with both the US Army and the French, and we’ll ask what their experience tells us about military effectiveness, citizenship and memory.
