Black Colleges During Wartime - 1944

This documentary produced by the US War Department commences with a stone memorial to Booker T. Washington. We are then presented with an overview of how African-American universities were contributing the nations effort during World War II.

With Progress through education and industry the rallying call, an overview of how institutions like Tuskegee, Prairie View, Howard, and Hampton are putting in their effort.

Notable cameos include Tuskegee Airmen, scientist George Washington Carver, and Dr. Charles Richard Drew.

One wonders however with such promise depicted in this film, what would become of many of these workers once the war was over and there would be no such job and skill shortage in an unequal America.

Still, many students who had the opportunity to thrive in these courses would become important and respected members in their professional fields.
