Stephen’s Reviews > The Right to Fight: A History of African Americans in the Military > Status Update

While reading this I wonder did we really help other countries in winning wars? So much focus on keeping the races separated, there must've been no time to focus on the fight of the war itself. I can only imagine how hypocritical the rest of the world thought of us to be proclaiming democracy and equality.🤔

Anytime you read history you have to imagine, what would I have done in the same situation? We all would act different. Would you protest and fight everyday? Would you stay quiet and go along with the system? My ultimate question would be would I put my life on the line for a higher cause and be willing to become a martyr? I guess this is why I was named Stephen. Can we take the ultimate Christ-like step? 🙏

So far it's history I've heard about, but never really learned in school. Learned mostly from tv. You would think after risking your life for your country you would automatically come home a free person. Not.
