This essay was copyrighted in May 1944, and "dedicated to the Loyal Negroes who are serving and dying in this World War II." It offers a fresh perspective on America's racial history, and reminds us of "the fight to get Negroes in the Army, Navy, Marines and still are fighting to get nurses in all branches of the service. . . . Remember how much black blood, uncompensated labor, talent, and virtue has been invested. . . . There ARE enough eligible Negroes that the Race can be better represented." We have found little on Frazier. She was a nursery matron in Cincinnati in 1927, and published a handful of other works from 1939 to 1953. Her portrait appears on the front wrapper. 3 in OCLC, and none traced at auction.
