Most interesting article. I never knew that Black Americans contributed 13 percent of US troops in WW I.

Gale Carr went to Canada and enlisted in the British forces: "At age 22, he was awarded two medals for bravery."

I can see a medal for bravery for joining the British but going to Canada seems kind of ordinary.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "success" is.
