About this item
In the midst of World War I, more than 150,000 African American soldiers crossed the Atlantic to serve their nation. Among them were courageous women who volunteered for duty through organizations like the Red Cross and Y.M.C.A.—trailblazers who defied racism at home and abroad. Two Colored Women in World War I France is the firsthand account of Addie W. Hunton and Kathryn M. Johnson, two pioneering African American women who served in France and chronicled every challenge, triumph, and revelation of their journey.
Through their vivid and insightful writing, Hunton and Johnson reveal what it meant to fight for democracy overseas while confronting inequality, segregation, and prejudice exported from America itself. Their experiences—marked by courage, grace, and determination—offer a rare window into the lives of Black women in wartime and the broader story of the Harlem Hellfighters and Black troops in the Great War.
This powerful narrative captures: The daily lives of African American soldiers and volunteers in France. The stark contrast between French social attitudes and American segregation. The enduring pride and strength of two women determined to serve despite injustice. The foundation of the long civil rights struggle that continued after the war. Fully restored and carefully formatted for the modern reader, this edition preserves an essential part of African American and women’s history—a story of humanity, dignity, and resilience during one of the most transformative moments of the 20th century.
