- Description:
- America's justification for entering the war on the side of the Allies "to make the world safe for democracy" had a special resonance to black Americans who had been for so long denied an effective political voice in the United States. Some 400,000 African Americans served in the U.S. Army during the First World War, most of them in all-black units in support positions as laborers, mechanics, and musicians.
