Praise God this story is now visible This is an incredible story often lost in African American and honestly the history of many Americans as the Davis father and son esteemed to be seen as just that， proud Americans。 They loved their country dearly and found meaning by serving in the armed forces paving the way as a foundational bridge for those that would come after them。 This book is a must read， the invisible story that would have gone unknown without the author’s craving for understanding o Praise God this story is now visible This is an incredible story often lost in African American and honestly the history of many Americans as the Davis father and son esteemed to be seen as just that， proud Americans。 They loved their country dearly and found meaning by serving in the armed forces paving the way as a foundational bridge for those that would come after them。 This book is a must read， the invisible story that would have gone unknown without the author’s craving for understanding of his incredible lineage。 。。。more

A book that brings to print the stories of Benjamin O。 Davis （Sr。 and Jr。）， their service to our country， their strength in face of disrespect， and their legacy to their family。Why is it that the stories of these two men are omitted from textbooks？ Too many students have missed out on making a connection with the Invisible Generals that may have impacted the choices they made for careers。 Luckily， Mr。 Melville has put in the time， and love， to share the stories about the men in his family so tha A book that brings to print the stories of Benjamin O。 Davis （Sr。 and Jr。）， their service to our country， their strength in face of disrespect， and their legacy to their family。Why is it that the stories of these two men are omitted from textbooks？ Too many students have missed out on making a connection with the Invisible Generals that may have impacted the choices they made for careers。 Luckily， Mr。 Melville has put in the time， and love， to share the stories about the men in his family so that the rest of us can read all about it。The recognition the two men did not have while in service is just now starting to reach the surface。 After reading this book I am off to find a copy of Benjamin O。 Davis， Jr。's book to read even more about his life。 。。。more

A Goodreads giveaway， this was certainly an interesting read， and very timely。 Part inspirational/self-help guide， part DEI thesis， with just a small part dedicated to military history。 Instead， the author uses his ancestors experiences in a viciously racist US military to illustrate how he continues to fightsfor diversity， equity， and inclusion in today’s world as a Chief Diversity Officer at a major marketing firm。 While I would have preferred a more direct historical nonfiction read， it was c A Goodreads giveaway， this was certainly an interesting read， and very timely。 Part inspirational/self-help guide， part DEI thesis， with just a small part dedicated to military history。 Instead， the author uses his ancestors experiences in a viciously racist US military to illustrate how he continues to fightsfor diversity， equity， and inclusion in today’s world as a Chief Diversity Officer at a major marketing firm。 While I would have preferred a more direct historical nonfiction read， it was certainly an interesting piece overall。 。。。more
