About this listen

 In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. William S. Morris to discuss his new book, In Defense of the Nation: Black Iowans at War, which chronicles the contributions and trailblazing feats of Black soldiers from the Civil War to the first Persian Gulf War.

Listen in as we discuss the contributions of Black soldiers—along with those of trailblazing African American women in the military—during and after their service, highlighting how their military roles helped pave the way for civil rights advancements and professional success in numerous fields. Dr. Morris’ passion for American history shines through and you’ll want to listen with pen and paper on hand to jot down all the names of the notable people in history that he shares.
