Synopsis
A look at World War II through the eyes of those whose service to America has not been recorded in the mainstream depiction of the war. The focus is on the more than one million African-American men and women in uniform who gave their loyalty, blood and lives to protect a country that denied them the very freedoms for which they were fighting. Their voices are raised in interviews that speak candidly of their accomplishments under conditions of racism. Unsung D-Day hero Waverly Woodson, who pulled drowning soldiers from the bloody waters; Edward Brooke, the first black U.S. senator in the 20th century and a veteran of a key Italian campaign; and Senator Daniel Inouye, who owes his life to African-American soldiers, are among the veterans who tell their stories.
