Professor of history Gary Gerstle talks about the significant role of Black soldiers in the Battle of San Juan Hill. Professor Gerstle explains that presidential aspirant Theodore Roosevelt downplayed the importance of the Black soldiers, because this was still a time of segregation, and "...he determined that the inclusion of Blacks in his storytelling of their contribution would undermine his claim to national leadership."
