Black history shouldn’t have to keep fighting for its rightful place in the American story... especially after our heroes have already earned it. Doris “Dorie” Miller became an American hero for his courage at Pearl Harbor despite serving in a Navy that restricted Black sailors because of their race. Now, the Navy is reportedly considering changing the aircraft carrier set to honor him... a historic distinction that would make it the first named for a Black American and enlisted sailor. At a time when Black history continues to be challenged and pushed aside, this is bigger than one ship... it’s about whether Black sacrifice and achievement are given the same respect, recognition and permanence in America’s story. #LetsDiscuss Why should honoring Black history be permanent rather than conditional? 🖤
