On Coming Home Well, we shine a light on the incredible journeys of America’s first Black generals, Benjamin O. Davis Sr. and Jr., a father and son who helped integrate the American military and created the Tuskegee Airmen. Their stories, brought to life by Doug Melville, are a testament to perseverance and courage in the face of systemic racism and overwhelming odds.
Through our conversation, the narrative of the Davis family unfolds like the pages of an epic, each chapter revealing another layer of sacrifice and determination. From Ben Davis Jr.'s silent trials at West Point to the astounding success of the Tuskegee Airmen under his command, these accounts are not merely historical footnotes but vibrant chapters of American history. Doug's intimate knowledge and personal connection to these "Invisible Generals" provides a unique perspective on the familial and national legacy they've left behind, inspiring us to remember the unsung heroes who have shaped our nation.
Join us for this unforgettable episode, filled with stories of bravery, innovation, and the indefatigable pursuit of the American Dream.
