EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the return of African American soldiers to the United States after bravely serving in France during World War I. The image, published by Underwood & Underwood and now housed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, showcases these courageous men who "covered themselves with glory" on foreign soil. The scene unfolds on a multi-tiered ship deck, where soldiers clad in their uniforms stand shoulder to shoulder. Some can be seen ascending or descending ladders that connect different levels of the vessel. The composition is striking, emphasizing both unity and diversity among these servicemen. Their proud faces reflect a mixture of emotions - relief, exhaustion, and perhaps even anticipation as they prepare to step foot back onto American soil. This powerful visual testament speaks volumes about their sacrifice and dedication to their country. As we gaze upon this black-and-white image from the early 20th century, it serves as a reminder of the invaluable contributions made by African Americans throughout history. It also prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of racial equality within our armed forces and society as a whole. This photograph not only preserves an important historical moment but also invites us to delve deeper into our shared heritage and honor those who fought for freedom against all odds.
