*”During the war 500,000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to evade it. They took their places wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others.” Calvin Coolidge, Letter to Charles F. Gardner (9 August 1924).
