Celebrating Forgotten Black Heroes on Veterans Day

"These kinds of heroes and veterans often aren't mentioned among the people who got gold stars or medals, but they are Black veterans." This Veterans Day, Wypipologist Michael Harriot celebrates those who served and fought for Black freedom. Veterans like Harriet Tubman, Lord Dunmore’s Regiment, Moses Dixon, Colonel Tye, Robert Smalls, Marylou Vester, and Cathay Williams contributed to the fight for Black freedom, even if they were left off military rolls.
