Black Excellence

this is a picture I saw when I was scrolling. it's of an African American 12th Armored Division soldier with captured german prisoners in April of 1945. it hit really hard for me when I thought of the context at the time. Black soldiers fighting for a country that still had segregation back home, and still showed up and won. it doesn't get talked about enough.

 

True! And when they were stationed in bases in the South, Nazi POW's were treated like human beings as compared to them. Plus, they sat in areas Blacks are forbidden to sit.

 

Those rare stories were mentioned in Black media back in the day.

 

The Black Muppet name was Roosevelt Franklin. I saw Sesame Street from the beginning.

 

Absolutely!!

 

A very few Black inventors made big money on their creations.
