I keep thinking about Ranger Shelton Johnson and hope you all go out any buy his book, "Gloryland."
No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman.
Same for the Buffalo Soldiers.
That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy.
We know their story.

1977 was such an absurdly good year for music (The Clash, Chic, the Congos, Rufus, Culture, Al Green, EWF, Ramones, Parliament, Donna Summer to name ten off the top of my head) but my single fave album opener might be this one. Just utter gospel fire:

Moving backstory too that Gloryland was the last on-stage encore sung by Levon Helm (credit to @rraffel.bsky.social for pointing that out to me)
Here’s that special moment in time (lovely photo below from a few days earlier)
