Description

The story of the Harlem Hellfighters is not simply one of victory in a war. . . . It is the story of men who acted as men, and who gave a good account of themselves when so many people thought, even hoped, that they would fail. The "Harlem Hellfighters," the African American soldiers of the 369th Infantry Regiment of World War I, redefined heroism—for America, and for the world. At a time of widespread bigotry and racism, these soldiers put their lives on the line in the name of democracy. The Harlem Hellfighters: When Pride Met Courage is a portrait of bravery and honor. Now available in paperback! This book meets the Common Core State Standards for History/Social Studies. It is a strong Common Core title featuring these important strands and standards: Informational text; strong text features including primary and secondary sources; sequence of events/well-structured account. Praise for The Harlem Hellfighters: When Pride Met Courage: “Makes history come alive. A must for public libraries and classroom use.” —VOYA, (starred review) “Thanks to his usual impeccable research, Walter Dean Myers with Bill Miles once again presents a rich history.” —Publishers Weekly “Will attract reluctant readers.” —Booklist
