Normandy: St. Andre, France: The Colored Frenchman in the U.S. Army
The news coming from America regarding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the marches for civil rights was accompanied by the ugly behavior of whites, which was seen in photos in Jet, Ebony, Look and Time magazines and conveyed in the mail received from home.
No one knows the trouble the African-American soldiers saw and endured in St. Andre while anti-African-American behavior was unfolding in the streets of America….but Earnest and his comrades did.

Three Unsung Heroes of Banking
The residual effects of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery Bus boycott opened the door for this story about three young African-American men breaking the color line in banking at a small bank on the west side of the city of Chicago.
“When I was at Merchants Bank, we monitored very carefully Dr. King and the Montgomery bus boycott, knowing that if he was successful, and he certainly was, the economic face of the country, particularly banking would have to change.”
Frank T. Flanagan
Vice President of Central National Bank
