One of the most momentous events of the 20th century was the invasion of Europe in 1944, also known as D-day. As I watched the coverage of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, I noticed that I didn't see any images or references of the brave African Americans who fought and made the ultimate sacrifice on that fateful day. I spoke with Dr. Rick Wright about this and he assured me that there were African Americans on the beaches of Normandy and they acted bravely.
