The Wounded World. In conversation with author Professor Chad L. Williams

W.E.B. Du Bois and the African American Experience in the First World War is the subject of the book. 380,000 African Americans served  in the War and their experience  both on the battlefield in France and when they returned home was a seminal moment for American Society in the 20th Century.  The after effects are still reverberating to this day. Historian Chad L. Williams walks us through this little studied chapter in American history.
