Title A name given to the resource African American Soldiers Stationed at Fort Huachuca Arizona, c. 1915-1917 Description An account of the resource On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany. Under the banner of making the world “safe for democracy,” President Woodrow Wilson pledged America’s resources to “bring peace and safety to all the nations and make the world itself at last free.” For many African Americans, Wilson’s words were empty, offensive, and downright criminal. How could the President of the United States promote democracy abroad while still firmly clinging to Jim Crow segregation at home? African American intellectuals such as Hubert Harrison, A. Philip Randolph, and Chandler Owen publicly opposed Wilson and the participation of African Americans in a war. Yet, there were those who believed that service on behalf of the nation, especially in its time of need, would benefit African Americans and their ongoing quest to achieve full-citizenship rights and privileges.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait of William Edward Burghardt Du Bois Description An account of the resource As early as 1915, Du Bois wrote most lucidly about the impact of World War I on the darker peoples of the world and how their futures were bound to be shaped by the outcome of the European conflict. In Crisis, Du Bois used his editorial pen to demand on behalf of the American Negro the right to serve as soldiers and officers on the battlefields of Europe. He believed that during America’s time of need, African Americans needed to demonstrate their “unfaltering loyalty” to realize the “larger finer objects of this world battle.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Bain News Service, Publisher. Dr. W.E.B.

Title A name given to the resource African American Soldier, c. 1917-1919 Description An account of the resource Most Americans know little of the global significance of World War I (1914-1919) and the sacrifices made by millions to ensure the victory of the Allied forces over Germany. Rarer still is a basic understanding of the critical role of African Americans in the war to make the “world safe for democracy.” World War I was a catalyst in the development of a radically progressive black consciousness, one that would ultimately lead to the mid-century civil rights and black power movements.
