A Distant Shore: African Americans of D-Day

The June 6th Allied invasion of Normandy was one of the important moments of World War II, but what is less known is the African American role in it. This film profiles the contributions of Black American soldiers for that important victory as veterans tell their stories. Although burdened and frustrated by racist mistreatment by their own military, these soldiers performed their duty for a greater cause.
