Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights

---

his treatise will set forth the black man's part in the world's war with the logical
sequence of facts and the brilliant power of statement for which the author is
famous. The mere announcement that the author of "Race Adjustment," "Out of
the House of Bondage," and "The Disgrace of Democracy" is to present a history
of the Negro in the great world conflict, is sufficient to arouse expectancy among
the wide circle of readers who eagerly await anything that flows from his pen.
In this treatise, Professor Miller will trace briefly, but with consuming interest,
the relation of the Negro to the great wars of the past. He will point out the
never-failing fount of loyalty and patriotism which characterizes the black man's
nature, and will show that the Negro has never been a hireling, but has always
been characterized by that moral energy which actuates all true heroism.
The conduct of the Negro in the present struggle will be set forth with a brilliant
and pointed pen. The idea of three hundred thousand American Negroes crossing
three thousand miles of sea to fight against autocracy of the German crown
constitutes the most interesting chapter in the history of this modern crusade
against an unholy cause. The valor and heroism of the Afro-American contingent
were second to none according to the unanimous testimony of those who were in
command of this high enterprise.
The story of Negro officers in command of troops of their own color will prove
the wisdom of a policy entered upon with much distrust and misgiving. It is just
here that Professor Miller reaches the high-water mark.
