Black History Month:

Today we honor Benjamin Oliver Davis Sr., the first African-American general for the U.S. Army. He battled segregation by developing and implementing plans for the limited desegregation of U.S. combat forces in Europe during World War II. He was three times assigned as a professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce University in Ohio and Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He rose slowly through the ranks, becoming the first black colonel in the army in 1930. In 1940, he was promoted to brigadier general by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Davis retired in 1948 after 50 years of service. Following many years of service, he became an adviser for the military on racial discrimination, pushing for full integration of the armed forces. He earned a Bronze Star and Distinguished Service Medal. After his death in 1970, he was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
