   The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II

   

   The book traces African Americans’ experiences during World War II, documenting how service in the armed forces and activism on the home front—reported and organized through Black newspapers, grassroots leaders, and veterans themselves—created a national struggle against segregation and racial violence; based on archival research and personal accounts, it highlights lesser-known stories of soldiers, sailors, and civilians whose wartime demands for equality exposed the contradictions of fighting for democracy abroad while facing discrimination at home and helped lay the groundwork for the postwar civil rights movement.
