1945232061945. Capra Frank. Japanese-Americans a 1945 wartime military screen magazine segment film reel highlighting Japanese American service in the U.S. Army's information and morale boosting film distributions during the final year of World War II. Produced for exhibition to servicemen as part of Army-Navy Screen Magazine No. 45 the segment is also an example of the wartime contributions of legendary Italian-American filmmaker Frank Capra one of Hollywood's most influential directors best known for It Happened One Night Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life. During World War II Capra became a major figure in official U.S. military filmmaking directing or supervising films that translated government policy and Allied war aims into accessible emotionally forceful cinema for soldiers and civilians. Here his Army film work presents Nisei troops not as an isolated human-interest subject but as participants in a broader program joining military projection democratic rhetoric and controlled public acknowledgment of Japanese American loyalty after mass incarceration. The film's focus on the 100th Infantry Battalion the 442nd Regimental Combat Team battlefield casualties and a widow receiving the Silver Star shows how Capra's wartime production apparatus helped frame Japanese American military service for uniformed audiences in 1945.

Message of the President of the United States. on the Rights of Colored Persons in the Army 1864 documents federal policy and legal interpretation concerning the status and compensation of African American soldiers and officers during the Civil War and provides direct evidence of how the U.S. government addressed racial inequality within the Union Army. Transmitting Attorney General Edward Bates' formal opinion the document centers on the case of Reverend Samuel Harrison chaplain of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and addresses the broader question of whether Black service members were entitled to the same recognition and pay as their white counterparts.

Lincoln Abraham. Message of the President of the United States Communicating. a Copy of the Opinion of the Attorney General on the Rights of Colored Persons in the Army. Washington: Government Printing Office 1864. Disbound pamphlet 9 pages. The text includes the full opinion of Attorney General Edward Bates affirming that "Mr. Harrison was the lawfully appointed and qualified chaplain of the 54th Massachusetts regiment" and therefore entitled to full compensation. The case arose when Harrison despite his commissioned status was paid only ten dollars per month and one ration under interpretations of the July 17 1862 law governing Black enlistment. Bates rejects this limitation stating that denial of proper pay would constitute "a plain violation of the purpose of Congress." Accompanying documents include War Department orders issued by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton authorizing the recruitment of African American regiments under Governor John A. Andrew of Massachusetts as well as a muster-in roll confirming Harrison's official appointment. Issued at a moment when the Union relied increasingly on African American troops this document records the tension between discriminatory policy and federal efforts to formalize Black military service within established legal frameworks. The case of Samuel Harrison connected to the 54th Massachusetts one of the most prominent Black regiments of the war highlights both institutional inequities and the mechanisms through which they were contested at the highest levels of government. The inclusion of legislative interpretation executive transmission and military documentation within a single publication makes it a concentrated record of how civil rights questions were adjudicated during wartime illustrating the gradual expansion of legal recognition for African American service members.

54th Massachusetts Infantry: Shaw Robert Gould Col.ABAA

STORMING FORT WAGNER

1890WRCAM52682Chicago: Kurz & Allison 1890. Color lithograph. Image size: 18 1/2 x 25 inches; sheet size: 22 x 28 1/4 inches. Matted to an overall size of 25 x 31 inches. Some moderate chipping and edge tears not affecting image. Reinforced with older tape along top edge. Lightly toned though colors are still strong and fresh. Good plus with wide margins. Suitable for framing. A dramatic rendering of the first major battle in the Civil War to involve African- American troops the attempted storming of a Confederate fort near Charleston South Carolina on July 18 1863. Colonel Robert Gould Shaw was killed along with fifteen other officers and nearly 300 of his men. The print shows the Union troops charging the ramparts of Fort Wagner charging into the oncoming Confederate rifle and cannon fire. A Union officer likely intended to be Shaw stands atop the first rampart sword held high the flag waving boldly next to him. Union ships float off the coast in the background shells bursting above them. Shaw 1837-63 came from a wealthy Massachusetts family noted for upholding reform and abolitionist causes. When the Civil War broke out in 1861 Shaw distinguished himself in combat surviving the bloody battles of Antietam and Cedar Mountain. After the Emancipation Proclamation was passed in 1863 Massachusetts governor John Andrew organized the army's first black volunteer unit the 54th Massachusetts. Despite his initial refusal Shaw was ultimately persuaded by his family to accept the command. Sent to fight in the Union effort to seize the border islands of the Carolina coast in the late spring of 1863 the regiment proved its valor that summer by holding off Confederate troops at James Island South Carolina. "Two days later July 18 1863 on Morris Island Shaw proudly volunteered his regiment to lead the assault on the impregnable Fort Wagner the first step in an offensive on the Confederate stronghold of Charleston South Carolina. When the Fifty-fourth charged the fort 272 were killed wounded or captured. One of those who fell was Shaw leading his African- American troops in battle. Although the assault failed the bravery of the Fifty- fourth proved the ability of black troops and in death the young Shaw was ennobled as a martyr to freedom and as a symbol of enlightened sacrifice" - ANB. The soldiers of the 54th impressed Shaw with their dedication and valor which they demonstrated during the Fort Wagner assault. Shaw was buried with his troops by the Confederates in a mass grave on the site of the assault. Shaw and his troops are the subject of one of the most celebrated works of public sculpture in the United States Augustus St.- Gaudens' Shaw Memorial on the corner of the Boston Common nearest the State House. Shaw's leadership of the regiment is best known to many people today through the film GLORY 1989 which culminates in the attack on Fort Wagner and Shaw's death. A dramatic portrayal of this important historical moment. BLOCKSON 111. Kurz & Allison unknown books
