I came across this tweet the other day, and it just felt so connected to what we’re talking about in class right now that I had to share it with you all. I looked around a little, and it seems like the tweet/article is referencing this information (scroll to Possible Considerations for African American or Black Volunteers). It’s crazy that many of the discussions we have regarding WWI are still relevant and being discussed today–the author of the tweet (and many others in the replies) are expressing the same kind of sentiment that Roscoe does in Daly’s novel.
Literature of the Great War
ENGL 348. Spring 2022. Dr. Scanlon.
I think even though time has passed since both World Wars but it amazes me how it still is talked today and the more we get to learn about the subject, we learn different things. Even with the African Americans that fought in the war, we got to learn more about their experiences though what there is to know and it shows that we need to know more.
