Standing up Against Hate: How Black Women in the Army Helped Change The Course of WWII

The monograph centers around Charity Adams, who commanded the only black WAAC battalion sent overseas and became the highest ranking African American woman in the military by the end of the war. Along with Adams’s story are those of other black women who played a crucial role in integrating the armed forces. Their tales are both inspiring and heart-wrenching. [Project MUSE]
