Abstract


World WarⅡwas the greatest global military conflict in the history of mankind. Almost all races and religions were among the victims and heroes of the war. Over those years, like several periods in the military history of America, black soldiers made undeniable contributions to their country. Thousands of black men and women patriots gave their lives in World WarⅡwith their stories remain untold. They were the invisible heroes of America. No doubt that fighting for his own country is a person’s duty, but for African Americans to fulfill this duty was much more difficult than one can think. Blacks in American society and military have long-suffered from a“natural coward”stereotype that is implicit in the racism propagated from America’s earliest days, and in the early stage of World WarⅡthey were even denied to enlist as soldiers with guns and only allowed to do physical labor in the army. It was strange that although having suffered so much discrimination and hostility from their fellow countrymen, blacks desired opportunity to serve in the army badly and fought bravely to be heroes. Many thought that the blacks’braveries were just instinctive actions of those mindless people, but the author believes that there was a driving force behind the black heroism.In the first part of the paper, the author introduces how African American soldiers were treated and under what condition they fought in World WarⅡ, then through studying the mental activities of black soldiers he reveals that blacks were neither“mindless cannon fodder”as the U.S government regarded them, nor brave fools who were insensible to the discrimination which their race had suffered for hundreds of years, they were patriotic heroes. But different from the white heroes, their heroism was filled with their desire of not only personal honor but also social acceptance.In this paper, the author expresses his own view point, reveals the real source of black heroism, and tells how a special group of people strengthened themselves in adverse circumstances and finally more or less won social respect.
