Nearly 370,000 black soldiers served in the military during World War I, and some 400,000 black civilians migrated from the rural South to the urban North for defense jobs. In one of the few book-length treatments of the subject, Nina Mjagkij conveys the full range of the African American experience during the "Great War."

When it emerged in the United States in 1852, the Young Men's Christian Association excluded blacks from membership in white branches but encouraged blacks to form their own associations. This comprehensive study of African Americans in the YMCA is a compelling account of hope and success.
