EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this sepia-toned photograph from 1918, we are transported back to a significant moment in history during World War I. The image showcases Captain E. S. Jones and his dedicated staff of the U. S. Labor Battalion on Governors Island, located in the heart of bustling New York City. The scene captures an early morning as these brave African American soldiers stand proudly outside their tent, dressed immaculately in their military uniforms. Their faces reflect determination and resilience as they prepare for another day serving their country. The backdrop of the Northeastern cityscape adds a touch of urbanity to this historic snapshot, reminding us that even amidst war, life continues beyond the battlefield. This photograph is a testament to the often overlooked contributions made by African American troops during WWI – men who fought not only against external enemies but also against racial prejudice within their own ranks. As we gaze upon this powerful image frozen in time, let us remember and honor these unsung heroes who played a vital role in shaping our nation's history through their unwavering dedication and sacrifice.
