Professor of history Gary Gerstle talks about the nexus between American cinema's treatment of World War II and the issue of racism during the War. Professor Gerstle notes that African-Americans were largely absent from Steven Spielberg's landmark film, "Saving Private Ryan," because they were excluded from the platoons that did the fighting during the D-Day invasion.
