Came across this:
This Veterans Day may mean more than most of all of the others, because many of them were fighting so that one day there might BE a Barack Obama. And this year, it has come to pass. Can you imagine them looking back at us from the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, etc., seeing this day?
Many thanks to all of them who gave their lives and their service for the betterment of their people, and thanks to all veterans who truly fought for freedom.
Black Troops in WWI
Interesting 5 min clip from documentary “Men Of Bronze”.
Harlem Hellfighters
1.5 min segment about Black troops in WWI, from “American Legacy“.
Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts in WWI
Despite the light and airy speaking style of this narrator, check out the brief account of these brothers’ actions, and listen closely to what they did!
James Reese Europe
Powerful 10 min. Segment on Black WWI Troops and James Reese Europe. Possibly from Ken Burns’ “Jazz” series.
