Today is D Day June 6, 1944

Study True American History …. They did not tell the whole story of D Day and WW2

D I D Y O U K N O W

Black soldiers who served in Europe for the sake of Freedom, Liberty, Virtue, Goodness and Justice returned home to be denied access to the newly formed Veterans Administration GI Bill?

The VA -Guaranteed Mortgages and the Federal Housing Administration(FHA) conducted de jure Segregation. Race Based Legal Housing segregation. The reason America remains segregation today

This should be a significant part of our D Day Remembrance.

VA/FHA sponsored financing Racial Conventants : “ No Lot or Portion of a lot or Building erected shall be sold, leased, rented, or occupied by any other than those of the Caucasian race” The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein p.85 ….it is the United States Government reward to Black soldiers and their families, they may never mention it - But don’t you forget it.

Please learn and teach America History. America will celebrate 250 years next month. Our ancestors have fought and served with dignity in every war. And the current administration has gutted the Voting Rights Bill. 🫠

And never forget while our great grand parents fought to liberate white people in Europe -they were oppressed at home and denied basic human rights. We are a remarkable people. Connect to the Global Majority whom we are a part, America is in her decline.

1.5 Million Black men served in segregated units during WW2
320th Barrage Ballon Battalion was the segregated unit to storm the beach 82 years ago today

The Tuskegee Airmen, my Uncle was one, had undeniable bravery and discipline they changed attitudes across the military and the nation. By proving that Black Americans could command and support combat units, their outstanding success heavily influenced President Harry S. Truman’s 1948 executive order to desegregate the U.S. military.
In 2007, surviving members were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to honor their contributions but never acknowledged how exclusion from the GI Bill affects the wealth gap today.
