Few people actually know because with little exception the Negro has been overlooked in the annals of American history; his contributions to society forgotten. A Negro-French explorer, Jean Bap-tiste Ponte du Sable, founded Chicago. A Negro, Crispus Attucks, was the first person to die in the Revolution.

In World War I the Germans called the black 369th Infantry the "Hell Fighters," and the French decorated the entire regiment with the Croix de Guerre and Legion of Honor. Since the discovery of the New World Negroes have played a significant, but often forgotten or ignored role. This series is a background of understanding.
