And all these years I thought Benjamin Davis Jr was the first Black WP graduate. Now I see that he wasn’t the first nor second or third but fourth. Anyway, great content. Now I’m digging into Flipper, Alexander and Young’s stories. (I’m very familiar with the Davis generals, Senior and Junior. I met Jr. once and he signed his memoir for me.)
He was from my hometown of Thomasville, Ga
Are there any markers about him in town?
@@NoireHistory Yes, there is a park and the cemetery where he is buried is nearby.
Love your content! Keep up the good work.
Thanks and will do!
