OMG- incredibly brave black man #CharlesFrench US ship named after him? What next? Black gen #BenjaminODavis? Or #HarlemHellfighters 191 days in the front line trenches in France WW1 & those soldiers awarded 170 #CroixdeGuerre medals during World War I? #HenryJohnson posthumous #MedalofHonor?

In 1940, Benjamin O. Davis Sr. made history as the 1st Black general in the U.S. Army, breaking barriers & fighting for equality. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, let’s honor his legacy & keep pushing back against the forces that threaten our freedom. #BenjaminODavis #CivilRights #Resistance
