It is still mindblowing to me that I created and I now the series co-editor of this series. The goal is to change the narrative and push the boundaries of our traditional understandings of what it means to be a soldier in the Black Diaspora.

I hate to say it but this feels as if

did this on purpose. The voice actor is one of those racist white guys who don't understand that he's racist. The editor admitted he's the only person who oversees the audio recordings, so he didn't listen to it before hand?

Academic integrity matters in our field. Who would want to take her classes or want her to write letters for them? She has ZERO credibility and unlike some other professions you need other scholars to validate your work. Folks out here making false equivalencies.

What's interesting about about the legacy of the Harlem Hellfighters is that in some states people will not be able to even learn their story in school.
In 1918, a soldier from the Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment, strikes a pose with a puppy he rescued during World War 1.
Comprised of courageous Black soldiers, this regiment fought alongside the French army due to racial segregation in the US
