Only two racists were wounded over the course of the escort, one by buttstock, one by bayonet, but that was enough to ward them from further attempts. While only white soldiers were deployed in the escort to minimize pretenses for racist agitation, these men were from a unit integrated with significant numbers of Black soldiers, whom they lived and trained with day-to-day.
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate your daily posts on lemmy and educating me! :)
