| Abstract: | Secondary learners are often exposed to the triumphs and tragedies of World War II. Unfortunately, however, students receive less awareness of the experiences and contributions of Black Americans to the war effort. Thus, this article provides secondary teachers with a brief history of WWII from the perspective of African Americans and pedagogical strategies as a means of elevating hidden histories and engaging students in social studies concepts.
