On September 11, 2016, Ph.D. Candidate Cheryl Dong presented her paper, “Black Power GIs” at the Black Arts Movement Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The paper derived from her work on her Master’s thesis in history, which looked at the involvement of African American enlisted soldiers in creating black power ideology during the Vietnam War, particularly during the formative years of 1966-1968.
