Description
Episode Description
In between WWII and Vietnam, the Korean War is often referred to as the forgotten war. Fifty years ago this year, African American soldiers fought alongside their white counterparts in the first officially integrated fighting force from the United States. It was a decade of turmoil; the dawn of the Cold War, the atomic arms race and America's civil rights movement. BASIC BLACK looks at the experience of the African American soldier in Korea, the forgotten of the forgotten war. Possible participants would include decorated veterans of the conflict, a former Korean War prisoner of war and the voices of Korean civilians recalling the presence of African Americans in their war torn country.
