Episode 8: A Celebration of Black Soldiers In honor of Black History Month we're releasing this special episode of the podcast commemorating the remarkable service of black Soldiers throughout Army history. Our guest, Colonel (retired) Charles D. Allen from the US Army War College, talks to us about President Truman's executive order integrating the military in 1948. Charles also talks about the largely unknown black heroes who inspire him. A 1978 graduate of West Point, Charles Allen serves as the Professor of Leadership and Cultural Studies at the Army War College. He is a widely published writer with bylines in the Washington Post, the Military Times, Army Times, and many scholarly journals. This is a short episode and it's worth your time. If you want to read more about this subject, we recommend you read Charles' recent piece in the Military Times.
