They returned home to join activists working to make that world real. In narrating the efforts of African American soldiers and activists to gain full citizenship rights as recompense for military service, Adriane Lentz-Smith illuminates how World War I mobilized a generation.World War, 1914-1918Participation, African AmericanAfrican American soldiersHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansSocial conditions20th centuryRacismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesRace relationsWorld War, 1914-1918Participation, African American.African American soldiersHistoryAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsRacismHistory940.4/03NP 5250rvkLentz-Smith Adriane Danette1812100MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966522803321Freedom struggles4364383UNINA
