[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 4996618, member: 43825"] “It is one of those dichotomies that some of the best soldiers in our military were African American, and at the same time, Jim Crowism and ‘separate but equal’ existed,” said Col. Krewasky Salter, who is retired from the military and is a former teacher of military history at West Point and current executive director of the First Division Museum in Wheaton, Illinois. “They represented the hope, faith, resiliency and commitment to what African Americans could achieve.” It's a celebration of these soldiers and a lesson of our history, not a celebration of segregation.
