13 EXECUTED

In 1917, the 3rd Battalion of the 24th United States ALL BLACK Infantry had been deployed from New Mexico to Texas to guard a construction at Camp Logan. THATS a base that would be built not long after the United States entered World War I.

“The soldiers came to town with patriotism in their hearts, ready to serve their country faithfully,”“but IN JIM CROW AMERICA THEY were met with racist provocations and physical violence.”
