Amazing history. I am glad they’re getting the recognition they so deserve. I wish this interesting piece of history is taught in schools.

I cannot put into words that the military NEVER HONORED these soldiers for their duty. Just willing to let them be forgotten but God had another plan!! Thank you to the women of the six triple eight!!!!

Fun Fact: They dishonorable discharged the large majority of black WWII veterans so they couldn't receive GI benefits this was the funds that created the white middle class and there were towns built for returning white soldiers that black people weren't allowed to live in. FHA housing was invented during this time.

Harlem Hailcats, Hidden figures, Red tails, The Six Triple Eight. This is just some of black America's accomplishments . God knows we have been nothing more than a gift to this country. You can only achieve these kind of things through a spiritual power greater than yourself . Our ancestors has over achieved in this country. Unfortunately historically never getting there credit. Hopefully now they will these movies tell our story.
