Deep dives
The 761st Tank Battalion: The Original Black Panthers
The documentary explores the history of the 761st Tank Battalion, the first Black Tank Battalion in World War II. The battalion played a significant role in the conquest of the Nazis in Europe, yet their story has been largely overlooked. They fought in combat for 183 days, facing fierce battles alongside their white commanders. Despite their bravery and valor, they returned home to face discrimination and were not given the recognition they deserved. The documentary sheds light on their important contribution and the challenges they faced both on and off the battlefield.
