In honor of African American History Month, the museum will be reaching into its archive to gather pieces that illustrate the important role that Black soldiers played during World War I (1914-1918).
Also known as the Great War, World War I (1914-1918) was Earth’s first truly global war. More than 70 million military combatants took part on multiple continents, but primarily in Europe. The war caused the collapse of long-standing empires and brought the ideology of Karl Marx (1818-1883) to world attention with the establishment of the Soviet Union (1922-1991). Unresolved issues from World War I played a key role in what became World War II (1939-1945).
This temporary display is extra special since artifacts associated with African American soldiers who served in World War I are rare and not often found in museum collections.
