Cool civil rights comic story 1 1

[KirbyCollector]

Heritage is selling a complete 12 page story from Unknown Soldier 237... normal art, but the narrative contains an unvarnished look at how black soldiers viewed the war (fighting to stop fascism abroad, but knowing they would return to racism at home). This POV of black WW2 soldiers has been well documented historically, so it sprang from truth. I just remember the impact this story had on me as a kid growing up in a 99% white town -- the comic gave me insight into something I had never been taught, and helped inform how I viewed black people the rest of my life. Just a neat piece of history here, and still relevant considering the times we live in now.

As someone who grew up in a predominantly white town, I can imagine how eye-opening and informative that story was for you. 
Moreover, I have relatives in Ukraine, the daily war alarm and noises in some cities are so creepy... So given the relevance of these issues in today's world, it's great to see how this piece of history from Unknown Soldier still resonates with readers. I found on https://paperap.com/free-papers/history/ more details (I'm really a fan of history examples and any stuff studied not only in schools and colleges, but in extra academic time, too). So I wish you good luck! And one more thing, I have a few favorite moments and characters from the Unknown Soldier story (yep, I read it very fast, it's so interesting), would you make this thread a welcome one for reviews?

We often say that this or that belongs in a museum, but this really does belong in a museum...or on display somewhere where it can not only be appreciated as the art(ifact) that it is, but so that it's impact can be felt. Congrats to the buyer.
