worst french are celebrating him. this question of black men in uniform will be such a prickly one that after the war, we have an uptick in not just black veterans being singled out for attack they take the added precaution to board the ships before they come back to the americans. images like this would have also been problematic for many in america, these are the french elite calvary, and they are working with training with african soldiers that i mentioned earlier, roughly translated as african sharpshooters. it's -- by war's end, at least 500,000 african soldiers will have served under the french flag alone, that doesn't even yet account for the british, the west indians, the black canad n canadians who joined the armed forces. americans enter world war i having already thought about a blackmar shall experience. here we see a picture of canada's number two construction battalion. what i'd like to say about these guys is that you're not looking at canadians, what you're looking at are largely americans. by my calcu

worse, the french celebrate him. this question of black men in uniform will be such a prickly one that after the war we have an uptick in not just black veterans being singled out for attacks, we know that some are even lynched in their uniforms, but there are also these small-scale attacks, spitting on them, ripping off parts of their uniform. the canadians are so distraught by what they see happening in the united states that they take the added precaution of requiring that their black soldiers take off their uniforms before they even board the ship in great britain to come back to the americas. again, this spreads beyond the simple american borders. images like this would have been problematic. these are the french elite cavalry. they are working with, training with african soldiers that i mentioned earlier. roughly translated to african sharpshooters. by the war's end, at least 500,000 african soldiers will have served under the french flag alone. that does not even yet account for the british, the west indians,
