Proudly We Served: The Men of the USS Mason

Autor Mary Pat Kelly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2015
Few Americans know the history-changing story of the men of the USS "Mason," the only African-American sailors to take a World War II warship into combat. At a time when most blacks in the Navy were relegated to stewards or laborers, the crew of the USS "Mason" escorted six convoys across the perilous North Atlantic, helped to win the Battle of the Atlantic and directly influenced President Harry S. Truman s decision to integrate all of America s armed forces. Recommended in 1944 for a commendation for their heroic actions during a violent storm, the "Mason" sailors finally received that commendation in 1995. The Navy further honored the men by naming a new destroyer (DDG 87) after the crew of the "Mason." This book is the basis of an award-winning PBS documentary and the feature film "Proud" starring Ossie Davis. The USS "Mason" story is featured in The National Museum of African American History and Culture."
