United States involvement in World War II is a complicated story, but incomplete unless we discuss black Americans and their contributions to the war effort. Matt and I get to it, discussing everything from support roles to civil right initiatives to the Double V campaign. This is good stuff...all from his recent book - Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad. You can grab a copy HERE -
