You may know Ashley Bryan as an author and illustrator of many children's books. His works have won many awards. But you may not know the man himself. Ashley shares his story of his life during World War II. In 1943, he was drafted into the army. He was surprised at how Blacks were treated in the army. He had never experienced segregation before. But that was the just the beginning of his experience as a soldier in the war.
