Invisible Generals

Rediscovering Family Legacy, and a Quest to Honor America's First Black Generals

Beschreibung

In Invisible Generals, Melville shares his quest to rediscover his family's story across five generations, from post-Civil War America to modern day Asia and Europe. In life, the Davises were denied the recognition and compensation they'd earned, but through his journey, Melville uncovers something greater: that dedication and self-sacrifice can move proverbial mountains -- even in a world determined to make you invisible.

Rezensionen

"In the rich tapestry of American history, the inspiring saga of the country's first two Black generals remains a lesser-known gem, hidden in the shadows of time. These trailblazers, courageous leaders, and unyielding advocates rose above adversity with the unwavering spirit of justice burning in their hearts. Their story serves as an enduring beacon of hope, a reminder that the path to equality and justice is not without challenges, but it is one worth traversing."
-Ben Crump, Black America's Attorney General
