The Color of Victory: Heroes of WW2

This docuseries hardly received any marketing or PR. I actually stumbled upon it surfing on Hulu. I know that there are so many unsung Black heroes of WWII, WWI, the Korean War and Vietnam. But what these men went through during WWII trying to serve this country was atrocious. They were mostly serving in support roles. And those like the Black soldiers serving in the 761st Tank Battalion, have been mostly forgotten until Morgan Freeman did the documentary about them. 8 million people of color served in WWII, almost none of them have been honored. In almost every film or TV show, Black men and women who served this country honorably are left out. This country didn't, and in many ways still doesn't, want any heroes but one color and it's not Black, it's White. This docuseries gave a lot of insight to the erasure of the Black people in this country who have risked and lost their lives for Democracy, and our rights and freedoms, yet they were still considered inferior and not worthy of mentioning. It's taken decades for someone like Doris Miller to receive his accolades. There are still others who are waiting, and though many of them have passed on, it's never too late to do the right thing. It's an excellent docuseries and I hope more people watch it.
