Black Washingtonians in the Great War

During World War I, African Americans from the Washington, D.C. area attempted to build a fighting force despite the obstacles of Jim Crow. This program will investigate how these Black citizens fought against a racist administration and War Department before finally serving overseas against the Germans.
