Red, White, Blue & Black: A History Of Blacks In The Armed Forces


Featuring more than 100 artifacts, objects, images and documents, “Red, White, Blue & Black,” highlights the robust collection of militaria from the DuSable Museum’s permanent collection. The exhibition is divided into seven historical eras: the Revolutionary War; the American Civil War; Westward Expansion and the Spanish American War; World War I; World War II; the Korean War; and the Vietnam War.

Red, White, Blue & Black: A History of Blacks in the Armed Forces is made possible in part by the Chicago Park District, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Alphawood Foundation, the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency and United Airlines, the official airline of the DuSable Museum.
