Courage Has No Color, The True Story of the Triple Nickles: America's First Black Paratroopers (Junior Library Guild Selection)

â€œAn exceptionally well-researched, lovingly crafted, and important tribute to unsung American heroes.â€ â€” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

World War II is raging, and thousands of American soldiers are fighting overseas against the injustices brought on by Hitler. Back on the home front, discrimination against African Americans plays out as much on Main Street as in the military. Tanya Lee Stone examines the little-known history of the Triple Nickles, Americaâ€™s first black paratroopers, who fought in an attack on the American West by the Japanese. The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, in the words of First Sergeant Walter Morris, â€œproved that the color of a man had nothing to do with his ability.â€
Front matter includes a foreword by Ashley Bryan. Back matter includes an authorâ€™s note, an appendix, a time line, source notes, a bibliography, and an index.
