Other vignettes show the effects of equality of blacks.Otis B. Duncan was the highest-ranking black officer to serve in World War I. He led an all-black unit, the 3rd Battalion, 370th Infantry, that distinguished itself in several major battles and by capturing a German village in the last battle of the war. Evoking Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation in this image extends the cause of freedom beyond the borders of the United States
