AFRICAN AMERICANS IN WW II
A LEGACY OF PATRIOTISM AND VALOR
On January 13, 1997, seven African American soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for actions performed during WW II. These seven honored soldiers have come to symbolize the remarkable contributions of all African Americans who served our country, in all our wars. Through archival film footage, war veterans from all military branches recount their personal experiences to bring their true stories to life. Some of their stories include:
Tuskegee Airmen; Women at War; Red Ball Express; 92nd (“Buffalo Soldiers”) Infantry Division); 761st (“Black Panthers”)Tank Battalion; Triple Nickels; 6888 Postal Battalion & much more! Includes a moving tribute
from General Colin Powell and comments from former president William Jefferson Clinton. This historic video is a must for every library.
