Court Martial at Fort Devens tells of a confrontation during WWII between privates who happened to be black women, a white colonel determined to keep them in their place, and the heroic black lawyer who took their case with a little help from Eleanor Roosevelt. Big news in the black press at the time, Court Martial at Fort Devens resurrects a moment in US history, which today is unfamiliar to most.
