African-American Heroes 1776-1919: The Story of Sergeant Neadom Roberts demonstrates the spirit and heroism of an African-American soldier's patriotic deeds and determination to serve his country despite barriers of racism, segregation, oppression, and discrimination. He persevered onward in great sacrifice, yet records of his service have gone unrecognized, been diminished and forgotten. This book seeks to educate the reader to tell the individual and collective stories of these gallant heroes and bring to light their historical legacies.
The American democracy must include equality and opportunity for all its citizens without regard to their race, ethnicity, social-economic status, and religion. The author hopes that readers of this book will enhance their knowledge and gain a renewed sense of pride and self-esteem about African-American heroes and their collective contributions to our beloved country.
