Isaac Woodard’s story is a reminder that even though they served this country all the same as white soldiers, Black soldiers still came back home to Jim Crow and sometimes they were often punished for having the nerve to be in uniform. Isaac’s story was one that actually helped spark the civil rights movement but you’ll rarely hear his name or see it in textbooks.
