EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in history that is often overlooked - the contribution of African-American bandsmen during World War 1. These brave men, part of the 79th Division, played a crucial role in boosting morale and providing musical accompaniment to troops on the front lines. Despite facing discrimination and segregation within their own ranks, these musicians persevered and made their mark on history.
The image showcases the proud and dignified stance of these bandsmen, dressed in their military uniforms with instruments at the ready. Their faces show determination and resilience in the face of adversity, embodying the spirit of service and sacrifice that defined this tumultuous period.
As we reflect on this historic event, it is important to remember the often untold stories of African-American soldiers who fought for freedom and justice both at home and abroad. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of their bravery and dedication to serving their country despite facing systemic racism.
Through this image by Don Troiani, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of unity and strength among African-American troops during World War 1. It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty and honor in the face of immense challenges.
