U.S. Army corrects miscarriage of justice in Jim Crow-era Texas

In 1917, at an Army training camp in Houston where members of the all-Black 24th Infantry Regiment were stationed, a series of run-ins with white police and a false rumor that Black soldiers were about to be attacked set off a race riot. One-hundred-and-ten soldiers, all Black, were convicted; 19 were sentenced to death and hanged. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin talks with families of the executed men, and with Army officials about its decision, more than a century later, to reverse all convictions and restore honor to the Black soldiers who suffered a miscarriage of justice.

    Sadly this is just one of thousands of stories about US history that non of us were taught in schools, because by NOT teaching something, you also teach people that some people are “less than human” and this is just one such case. The history we are taught in school here in this country only aims to solidify the narrative that “whites are better than any other group of people”, and if you think back on the history you are taught you will see this is the case.

McClellan. We, a black couple in full uniform, went out to eat in a diner downtown Anniston, Alabama and was denied service for a long period of time. When we were finally served, we returned to our hotel and was suddenly stricken with severe food poisoning. Ft. McClellan, in Anniston was all female who weren't allowed to go into town together as blacks and whites. I grew up in East Tennessee and had not experienced such malicious behavior.

The banks, government and racist white people had a hand in what happened to my people. This is not to make anyone feel bad at all this is just to right a horrific wrong.

    During WW1 Colonel J.Linard head of the Expeditionary Forces sent a covert memo entitled "Secret lnformation Concerning Black American Troops" to French military command saying that the way the French military and civilians were treating black US troops stationed in France with respect and dignity and like equals was very upsetting to and hurting the morale of white US troops and requested that French authorities and civilians treat the black US troops Jim Crow style with segregation, non fraternisation and non miscegenation etc like they would experience back at home. This request was generally ignored by the French military and civilians. The French military was grateful for the manpower and praised the discipline, fighting spirit and effectiveness of the black troops, and the civilians praised their good manners, friendliness and generosity. The French awarded them medals including their highest, with blacks being the first American troops to be awarded. A common joke among the French went like "so good of the Yanks to come help us but did they really have to bring those white boys with them". The US army even tried the same thing when blacks were stationed in the UK during WW2. On a side note: the French fielded Europe's first all black manned and led regiment, and had black officers up to General commanding white troops more than a century before the first black US General.

Others double down on their inability to demonstrate empathy with questions of “why does everything have to be about race and social justice? Why even bring up the past?” Well… are we to celebrate past events that astound us, yet not mourn over and/or make right past events that anger us? Shame us?
