A Veteran's Experience with Discrimination on the Battlefront and at Home During the Vietnam War

African Americans volunteered in large numbers for the Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. For some, the color line among troops blurred quickly in battle, but many still faced discrimination when they returned home. This segment from Iowa Public Television's Iowans Remember Vietnam documentary includes archival footage and interviews of veterans of the war. Major funding for the Iowans Remember Vietnam documentary was provided by Casey’s General Stores; additional funding provided by Prairie Meadows.
