Most of these words would not come to mind when talking about history and race. Using the 1914 and 1918 editions of [[The Crisis]], readers can see how successful and the advances "colored" people made during that hard time for them. |

| − | In this analysis of The Crisis, focusing on two editions, one from 1914 and the other from 1918, we see a snap shot of the attitudes of and towards black soldiers at the beginning and the end of World War I. These editions, volume 8, number 5 published in 1914 and volume 16, number 2 published in 1918 shows us the apparent change (or lack of apparent change) in the way black soldiers were treated in comparison to the way they served their country. This idea, will be explored and displayed through a series of tools. Namely, a timeline of the publications, text mining of key words, and close readings of selected topics. The words being focused on are: ''Pride'' and ''Success'', in addition to an idea, represented through a string of words, including ''Bravery, Gallantry, Courage,'' and ''Sacrifice''. The question to keep in mind when addressing these literary works is simply, what was the reality of the conditions that "colored" soldiers faced during their service, the barriers successful "colored" people overcame to accomplish what they did and how were their actions perceived by foreign entities compared to back home?
