Product Information

On April 2, 1917, Woodrow Wilson thrust the US into World War I, declaring "The world must be made safe for democracy." For the 380,000 African American soldiers who fought in the global conflict, these words carried life or death meaning. Relating stories bridging the war and postwar years, Chad L. Williams reveals the central role of African American soldiers in World War I and how they committed to fighting for democracy at home and beyond.
