American
Patriots: The Story of Blacks in the Military
Gail Buckley; adapted by Tonya Bolden
Hardcover | Crown Books for Young Readers | 0-375-82243-7 |
January 2003 | $15.95 | Ages 10 and up |
Racism has been alive
and well in all aspects of United States culture for over 200 years,
but many of us have probably not considered the role prejudice has
played in the military. Many brave African American men and women
have lost their lives defending our county and have never received
recognition for the contributions. This book introduces you to the
heroes of the past who have lost their lives to gain our freedom.
You will also see the progression of changes in attitudes toward
African Americans in the military since the Revolutionary War.
