Doug Melville | Invisible Generals | Talks at Google
In this compelling talk by Talks at Google, DEI leader and author Doug Melville discusses his book, "Invisible Generals." Inspired by the omission of his family's legacy from the "Red Tails" film, Melville embarked on a journey to uncover the true stories of America's first two Black generals, Benjamin O. Davis Sr. and Jr. The video highlights their remarkable perseverance against systemic racism in the military, their significant contributions to national policy (like airport security and the 55 mph speed limit), and the crucial importance of families owning and sharing their own histories to ensure proper recognition and inspire future generations.
