This 1944 documentary was intended to encourage African Americans to enlist in the U.S. Army during World War II. The film traces the history of African American contributions to society during war and peace, beginning with the Revolutionary War, then shows their work as teachers, judges, scientists, artists, musicians, athletes, and soldiers. The film was produced by Frank Capra. In 2011, this forty-minute film was chosen to be preserved in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress and was recently restored by the National Archives. close
