Individuals portrayed include celebrated Revolutionary hero Crispus Attucks and Lieutenant Vernon J.

This set investigates each war, the interwar years, integration periods, and acceptance of African American men and women on the military team. This is a fascinating compendium spanning all U.S. history.
