Freedom Struggles: African Americans and World War I
Adriane Lentz-Smith
For many of the 200,000 black soldiers sent to Europe with the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, encounters with French civilians and colonial African troops led them to imagine a world beyond Jim Crow. Lentz-Smith narrates the efforts of these African American soldiers to gain full citizenship rights as recompense for military service.
