Description:
After joining the Navy, with the hope of becoming an electrician, Carl Clark was told that black sailors could only be mess attendants, cleaning up after the white officers. During a 22-year career, Clark saw much of the world, earned promotions and commendations, and was awarded a Purple Heart after being wounded. He writes of his struggles as an African American sailor when the armed forces were segregated, and of fellow black sailors, given the most hazardous duty aboard ship, who died heroically for a country that treated them so unfairly.
