Mississippians pride themselves on being patriotic. What what’s more patriotic than serving your country in the military? We’ll learn about military and veterans’ legal rights with today’s guests Ira Rushing from Tully Rinckey.
In 2020, Black Soldiers comprised approximately 21% of the active-duty Army, 15% of the Army National Guard and 21% of the Army Reserve. Black Americans serve in the Army at a rate that is higher than their representation in the U.S. population. The active-duty percentage of Black Soldiers has remained higher than the representation of Black Americans in the U.S. population since 2002, with peaks in 2002 and 2014. In 2022, 146,793 veterans lived in Mississippi. 39,900 or 27% were Black or African American only. I am thankful for our Mississippians who have chosen to serve our country.
