The nurses of the Army Nurse Corps were an essential part of the war effort. African American nurses fought to serve their country and to be there for the Black soldiers they treated. Though hurdles were laid in their way, these women succeeded in enlisting in the Army. Black nurses had the backing of several Civil Rights advocates, including Mary Staupers and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Many Black nurses went on to serve around the world and perform ground-breaking research.
