EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this powerful photograph from January 1919, we witness the triumphant return of two brave African American soldiers, Private Robinson Cleve and Private Daniel Nelson. Both men had valiantly fought in World War I but were wounded in action. Now, they stand proudly on the deck of the SS George Washington, their faces etched with determination and resilience. What makes this image even more remarkable is that Cleve and Nelson are not alone. They have brought back a symbol of victory - captured German dogs. These loyal companions served alongside enemy troops but now find themselves under the care of these courageous soldiers. The sepia-toned portrait captures a moment frozen in time - an early morning arrival as sunlight bathes the scene in warmth. The men's uniforms bear witness to their service, while their expressions reveal a mix of exhaustion and relief at finally returning home. This photograph serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by countless African American soldiers during WWI. It stands as a reminder that heroes come from all walks of life, united by duty and honor. As we gaze upon this poignant image, let us pay tribute to these unsung heroes who risked everything for freedom. May their story inspire future generations to cherish our hard-won liberties and strive for equality for all.
