The Rockbridge Historical Society’s annual Black History Month series turns to World War II this year: honoring a range of local African American servicemen and women; broader national and global war efforts to win the Double V campaign against fascism abroad, and Jim Crow at home; and the continued push to integrate American women into wider military roles.
