We Japanese need not to say much on the cause of the present war. Suffice it to say that the further existence of the Black Octopus will depend entirely upon how he comes out of this war.

Renesch, it followed his earlier recruitment poster “Colored Man Is No Slacker!” and reflects the emotional cost of wartime service on Black families at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene shows a young African American mother and her three children gathered in their home, remembering a father fighting abroad. His portrait, flanked by crossed American flags, hangs above the fireplace alongside images of George Washington, Woodrow Wilson, and Abraham Lincoln. The children each respond differently, a daughter holding her doll speaks of her father, the youngest reaches toward his portrait, and the eldest son, dressed in clothing reminiscent of an Army officer, gazes upward with pride. A single-star service flag hangs in the window, while a cat rests by the fire, reinforcing the quiet domestic setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the United States entered World War I in 1917, roughly 20,000 African Americans initially enlisted, with more than 700,000 registering after the Selective Service Act. Despite widespread willingness to serve, Black soldiers were excluded from the Marines and largely limited to segregated units, many supporting Allied forces in Europe. They served in numerous roles including infantry, engineering, medical, and transportation units.
