During the first World War NAACP called upon many blacks to join the army to show their worth, but once the war was ended blacks were not rewarded and whites tried to make them underlings again. The Harlem Hellfighters and many other black soldier groups were under appreciated and underloved for their acts and sacrifices in WW1.
