Description
1960. Black U.S. Army soldier's photo album documenting home and military life between Virginia and Vietnam in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Black servicemen moved through the formally desegregated Army during the first major U.S. war fought after official military integration. Centered a young black enlisted man, the album tracks the life of service through photos at camp, soldiers in formation, military equipment, helicopters, and with portraits alongside other soldiers. Though the Korean War was the first U.S. war that was formally desegregated, the units still saw unequal integration and opportunity, while the Vietnam War marks an era in which a desegregated military was already well established. Photo archive of 92 color and black and white photographs, ranging from 3.5" x 3.5" to 3.5" x 5", Virginia and Vietnam, late 1960s to early 1970s. Mounted in a 10" x 14" spiral bound album. Many images show the compiler in uniform and civilian dress, some of the earlier home scenes have handwritten inscriptions en verso. Other images show helicopter scenes in flight and at camp; tent lines, wooden barracks; soldiers standing in formation, gathering in small groups, and posing beside military vehicles and equipment. A Virginia license plate anchors the soldier's home state, and the use of quippy captions gives this soldier a voice, identifying some individuals by their first name, and one particular youthful photo of himself captioned "Dunn [?] will be leaving on January the 1st (army) But you know he is trying to get out of it, said he was going to school. Ha! Ha! Uncle Sam's school," giving a glimpse into the prior aspirations of young Black man right before being drafted. Black soldiers entered the Vietnam era military in large numbers at the same time that civil rights struggles, Black Power politics, and mounting criticism of the war reshaped the meaning of service for African American men. This album gives weight to that history with repeated presence of black men within camps and comradeship with white soldiers. Adhesive residue to corners and backs of some images, edgewear to album and leaves, and expected handling wear; photographs generally clear and legible. Overall very good condition. This album shows the ground level of Black military experience in the early post segregation Army.
