A grandfather tells his grandson
about his time in the European theatre of WWII in the segregated
negro unit. He shares stories mostly about the trouble
that the white soldiers gave his unit, more than the engagement
with the 'enemy'. And then adds about the jim crow he had
to face upon returning alive to the United States. He
softly concludes with a sigh, "...the time that this country
wasted on holding us down...the time."
(Hear how brother ends his final
bar-soft and in full control. Ancient).
