America’s first Black generals were a father-and-son team who, among many accomplishments, helped to integrate the military and create the Tuskegee Airmen. Doug Melville joins guest host John McCaa to discuss his family’s patriarchs – how they were unfairly compensated and faced racism among the ranks, and his quest to bring these extraordinary men’s stories to light. His book is “Invisible Generals: Rediscovering Family Legacy, and a Quest to Honor America’s First Black Generals.”
