Scope and Contents

Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas is ensuring that the history of American Negro Servicemen in World War II is recorded by inserting their story in serial form in the Congressional Record. She discovered that no history had been compiled of the Negroes' contributions in the war, and with the help of the War and Navy departments, she has compiled a nearly 50,000-word history detailing their service and sacrifices.
