When our speaker Doug Melville went to see Red Tails, a movie about America’s first Black flying squadron, he was shocked to find out that the real names of Black military generals Benjamin O. Davis Jr. and Sr. had been removed from the narrative. As a descendant of these heroes, Doug embarked on a quest to shed light on the full, untold stories of his great and great-great uncle. These men fought in World War II, spearheaded integration in the military, and left a lasting legacy to their (real) names. Read Melville’s debut book INVISIBLE GENERALS — out today — and check him out on The Daily Show! #DougMelville #NewBook #BookBirthday #SimonSpeakers Simon & Schuster
