Edward Allen Carter, II (1916-1963) was raised in Shanghai, China. In 1937, he joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and fought in the Spanish Civil War. During World War II, Carter distinguished himself in battle in Germany, but his service went unrecognized by the Army due to discrimination against African Americans. More than three decades after his death, the Army and the U.S. government finally honored Carter’s bravery in action. This collection primarily consists of documents related to Carter’s experiences in the U.S. Army.
