Purpose and Scope
The intent of this site is to provide access to resources for researchers and other persons
interested in the history of African-American involvement in the Vietnam War. "Involvement"
is defined as those who served and those who protested. Although this
site represents a sizable collection of full-text articles, papers, other documents
(including government documents), Web links, sound files, photographs, speeches and poetry,
the majority of the site consists of annotated bibliographic citations.
