Through the voices of African American officers who led, endured, and inspired, this series brings to life untold chapters of U.S. military history. Drawing from rare oral history interviews, Dr. Hampton reveals how these leaders navigated racism, service, and sacrifice to reshape both the armed forces and the nation itself.
Each episode combines authentic storytelling with historical insight, offering listeners a front-row seat to courage, mentorship, and change within the ranks.
