The film begins with a scene of people arriving at a black church on Sunday, a man in uniform singing in the choir. The pastor decides to devote his sermon on the Negro and the war. He begins with a historical introduction, talking about African-American contributions to American military endeavors from Crispus Attucks on. At the point were he comes to World War II the preacher talks about the racism of the Nazi movement and quotes an anti-black passage from Mein Kampf. After he finished this discussion he is "interrupted" by a woman in the audience who reads the congregation a letter from her son in the infantry. Her narrative is accompanied by footage of African-American servicemen in orientation and training camps.
