Synopsis: This is a documentary focusing on the contributions to the American war effort of African-American soldiers in World War II and includes many interesting scenes, from training to actual service.
The late African American filmmaker and educator Carlton Moss wrote the script and plays one of the roles in this film used to promote nationalism among new soldiers. It provides a rare glimpse of the middle class African American experience of the time.
Moss plays a minister giving a sermon, which acts as the centerpiece for this film. He speaks about the noble history of African Americans in the United States on and off the battlefield. Inter-cut with his sermon is footage of a soldier going through basic training along with historical footage highlighting black achievement. |
