African American Participation During World War I
-
Centering African American contributions in WWI, which are too often overlooked because of the early 20th century's racist military rules.
-
This online exhibit, called "Patriotism Despite Segregation" and curated by Delaware Historical & Cultural Affairs, describes issues surrounding WWI, including segregation in the military (doctors and soldiers), a poet's promotion of Black soldiers' military service, and the "New Negro Movement," which resulted from WWI, that demanded equal wages and job opportunities. Artifacts and photographs associated with African Americans and the WWI war effort are included throughout the HCA's exhibit.
