Matt Delmont on “We Return Fighting”: The Black Freedom Struggle During World War II

In this episode, from our series on Teach the Black Freedom Struggle, our host, historian Jeanne Theoharis speaks with historian Matt Delmont about his book, Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad, which tells the stories of how Black people fought racism at home and abroad during World War II.

Thanks to Delmont’s generosity, every teacher who attended the Teach the Black Freedom Struggle class received a copy of the book. Read about the event and find related resources.
