Despite racism and discrimination,
          this group of soldiers
             did its job bravely
                 and with honor.

 African Americans
      Officially Join the Army

     After the Civil War,
           the Army
               was reorganized
       and former
          "all-white" policies
                were amended.

     Two cavalry
         and four infantry units
              of African American soldiers
           were established
                 by the government.
