Thank you, Judith. This is exactly the kind of information and source material that I particularly appreciate. Pictures are treasures. Seeing the brothers hanged -- the source for that and photographer are additional points of interest. All Black American soldiers occupying the Philippines is a fact that I must look into. As I wrote that my mind filled the countless promises that I've made to myself... and what did those soldiers come home to?

What I meant was how Black soldiers, when returning from war, who fought valiantly, were again reduced to the insignificant (at best) status they had before they risked their lives for all of us...

Cynthia, I understood your point. I have several questions a) the date b) thinking of the segregation in the Army until Eleanor got involved c) Why all Black soldiers d) not a noble cause of the USA to tear freedom out the hands of Filipinos and subject them e) I have no doubt about how the Black men were treated, except by their families.
