Celebrating Black History Month

One of almost fifteen hundred Oberlin men and women to serve in World War I, David W. Anthony (d. 1983) spent two years as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in France, where this photograph was taken in 1918. Anthony, a member of the class of 1916, later earned an M.D. from Howard University Medical School.
