The Crisis: The Perception of Race in WWI

This article, [http://dl.lib.brown.edu/jpegs/1292948033108625.jpg ''A Comrade to Comrades,''] discusses what the African-American soldiers are ultimately fighting for, their "aspirations for racial betterment." Retired Colonel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Young_(United_States_Army) Charles Young] states, "Do not follow, but set the pace for others in doing duty, in discipline, in loyalty and leadership." This shows the spirit he has for the African-American soldiers to succeed and in a way feels as if he is giving them a half-time pep talk to finish through and end the war. The war ends 5 months after this edition was published.
