Tulane: The African American Experience of World War II

Fighting on Two Fronts: The African American Experience of World War II presented by the Amistad Research Center

More than one million African Americans served in the United States armed services in World War II and even more worked at home to help ensure victory. It is in recognition of the importance of the African American contribution in World War II that the Amistad Research Center of Tulane University, The Center for African and African American Studies at Southern University at New Orleans, The Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans and The National D-Day Museum host Double V-Fighting on Two Fronts: The African American Experience of World War II.

BRAVO!!

This was an EXCELLENT and ENLIGHTENING conversation. Despite some of the audio issues, the panelists were great. I especially enjoyed the stories and wisdom of the last two panelists who spoke. Their points about how we all lose when we prevent a group of people from becoming all that they can be- and the point about patriotism and America being OUR country- were very salient points.

May God bless each of them for their services.
