In honor of Veterans Day on November 11, we will meet to discuss a group of WWII soldiers who were almost denied the opportunity to fight for their country because of their race. Join us to learn about and honor the Triple Nickles, the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, America’s first black paratroopers. Kenneth Smith, a Triple Nickle since 1947 will be here in person to answer your questions. Author Tanya Lee Stone will also join us via Skype to discuss her book.
