Happy Memorial Day.

Today, as we remember and honor our veterans, let's not forget the African Americans who courageously fought on the battlefields across Europe in WWll. Below, Bryan Greene's moving article in Smithsonian magazine on these courageous men who returned home and were not always welcomed back.

Trump's Klan has probably purge that part of Black History out of the Smithsonian too.

This reminds me of a part of Texas where German Nazi soldiers were imprisoned and they were shocked & surprised at how the Black community nearby were treated.
Lol..the Nazi prisoners on a certain level enjoyed more tights than AAs. After they were released they became full citizens. Some of their descendants remain in Texas. Unbelievable!
