In May of 1942, at the age of eighteen, Ashley Bryan was drafted to fight in World War II. For the next three years, he would face the horrors of war as a black soldier in a segregated army. He endured the terrible lies white officers told about the black soldiers to isolate them from anyone who showed kindness-including each other. He received worse treatment than even Nazi POWs. He was assigned the grimmest, most horrific tasks, like burying fallen soldiers…but was told to remove the black soldiers first because the media didn't want them in their newsreels. And he waited and wanted so desperately to go home, watching every white soldier get safe passage back to the United States before black soldiers were even a thought. For the next forty years, Ashley would keep his time in the war a secret. But now, he tells his story. The story of the kind people who supported him. The story of the bright moments that guided him through the dark. And the story of his passion for art that would save him time and time again. Filled with never-before-seen artwork and handwritten letters and diary entries, this illuminating and moving memoir by Newbery Honor-winning illustrator Ashley Bryan is both a lesson in history and a testament to hope. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Bryan, Ashley. 650 0 Illustrators|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American illustrators|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Soldiers|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American soldiers|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xParticipation, African-American |vJuvenile literature. 700 1 Graham, Dion.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12616942?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ sas_9781508296492_180.jpeg
