"As far as Black Americans are concerned, regardless of how despicable our condition or our character, we were allowed to fight this country's battles... We have been used, though sometimes reluctantly for fear of our disruptive potential, in every war this country has fought, from the War of Independence to the war in Indochina. It is time this fragrant abuse of our persons ceases." BSMU BSU Vietnam War
