The purpose of this study, commissioned by the Army, was to
document the process by which the Congressional Medal of Honor was
awarded from December 7, 1941, through September 1, 1948; to
identify units in which African Americans served; to identify by
name all black soldiers whose names were submitted for the medal
and to document any errors in the processing of their nominations;
and to compile a list of all black soldiers who received the
Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest award. Based on
this work, in January 1997 President Clinton awarded seven African
Americans the Medal of Honor. The authors were selected by Shaw
University of Raleigh, North Carolina, to conduct this study under
a U.S. Army contract.
