The History Channel's tribute to black WWII soldiers

One of the many stories left out of our history books
about World War Two is the heroics of the 761st Tank Battalion, a group of black soldiers that history forgot. But not
the History Channel. This month, presumably in honor of Black History Month, the History Channel is airing Honor
Deferred. Narrated by Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson, the documentary pairs historical photos and video archives
with interviews of the black men who served in the 761st. The men spent 183 consecutive days in combat, fighting Nazi
Germany and its allies. It comes highly recommended by
reviewers as an important piece of American history.TV Squad Hot Topics
