Black Patriots: Ten Soldiers Who Shaped America

By Byron Davis

From the Revolutionary War to modern battlefields, Black American soldiers have fought with courage, skill, and determination-often without recognition. Black Patriots tells the remarkable stories of ten Black men whose bravery and leadership helped shape the United States.

Meet Crispus Attucks, the first casualty of the American Revolution; William Harvey Carney, the first Black Medal of Honor recipient; Doris "Dorie" Miller, who defended his ship at Pearl Harbor; and modern heroes like Colin Powell and Sergeant La David Johnson.

Through battles, barriers, and decades of persistent excellence, these men prove that heroism transcends rank, race, and circumstance. Written for both adult and young adult readers, Black Patriots is a celebration of courage, duty, and legacy-a tribute to soldiers who refused to be invisible and whose actions continue to inspire generations.
