Write a coherent summary of the problems Du Bois saw waiting for the “Returning Soldiers.”
Given all those problems, did Du Bois think it was right for African-Americans to volunteer to
fight? Why, or why not?
The basic problem Du Bois saw was that while Africa Americans were fighting for the freedom of
the French and fighting to uphold democracy in far away lands; the African American soldiers
were being forced to return to an unjust America. That did not fight for there freedom or
democracy. Du Bois felt it was our right to fight, and that as Americans it was our duty ­ but that
we should also fight for our freedoms / rights upon return
