This is the second episode on the 369th Infantry Regiment.  I discuss the politics behind the formation of the regiment.  Also, I discuss the controversy on NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem.  The next episode will cover the initial outfitting of the unit and prepartions for going overseas.  You can find more information on the podcast by visiting my site at www.blackvalor.net.  

The hiatus of the Black Valor podcast is over!  This episode marks the beginning of a new series commemorating the 369th Infantry Regiment and 100 year anniversary of WWI. Also, I discuss some of the reasons for the long delay and why this podcast is more relevant than ever, with the current racial climate in America.  

Consider Episode 17 the first of four or five podcasts that focus on aspects of the 369th's WWI legacy.  Episode 18 will arrive in two weeks and cover the politics that led to the formation of the regiment and the famous 369th band.

If you are an old listener, thank you for your patience and I promise to reward your diligence with fresh new content.  For new listeners, welcome and I recommend listening to the older podcasts while you wait for the new episode.
