Alexander Bielakowski will discuss his book Proud Warriors: African American Combat Units in World War II in this Wisconsin Veterans Museum author talk. Each branch of the armed services treated African American soldiers differently; mostly, units were segregated. The author argues their roles in World War II led President Truman to desegregate the military after the war. The event is free but RSVP for the Zoom link.

media release: This event is free and is suitable for all ages. Event sponsored by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation with support for the Foundation in memory of Pat Finley.
