FORT HUACHUCA by Ailema Sousa takes us through the daily lives of five African-American women, nurses, who wait to be called to active duty during World War II. Every one of them has a passion to serve a country that doesn t even consider them equal. Yet, it is their collective desire to do something great for America.
Doing so, could also raise up their communities racial identity status and provide recognition for them, as a matter of pride, as intelligent, equally capable, strong, black women. Indeed, as a fact, the actual pioneers who were stationed there at that time did contribute an important chapter to America s history.
