Actor John Amos recently sat down for a conversation with six African American veterans who served America during World War II. The resulting short documentary acknowledges and pays tribute to all African American veterans who contributed at the battle of Iwo Jima. Today Amos will be joined by Dr. Ida Jones, assistant curator of manuscripts, Moorland Spingarn Research Center, Howard University; former Congressman and WWII veteran Louis Stokes; and Iwo Jima veteran Sgt. Gene Doughty as we screen and discuss the film. This program is presented in partnership with Howard University.
