Remember, and I can’t make this up in 2024, the series about black women who found lost mail during WW2? Can’t make this up. How brave they were, stateside, braving paper cuts and cross stares from white supervisors. I mean, it was not the Hürtgen Forest, this was much tougher.
Bottom line is the black contribution in every war before Korea was negligible. Maybe not due to blacks themselves.
