Description
|
|
|
|
Throughout American history, from the Revolution to San Juan Hill, black soldiers have fought under the Stars and Stripes. Through period accounts, first-person recollections, and rare photos and footage, this two-disc program follows the difficult journey of the African-American men and women who fought to secure their rightful place in the U.S. military. Comprising five separate documentaries, the program pays tribute to the valor and sacrifices of African-American soldiers, while shedding light on the discrimination and disregard that at times proved more threatening than the rigors of battle.
