The Original Black Panthers: 761st Tank Battalion

The 761st Tank Battalion, known as the Black Panthers, was the first African-American tank battalion in combat during World War II. By the end of the war, they advanced further east than any other US unit, recieving 391 decorations for their heroism; but for many of them, their post war return was a challenge. New Castle County Reads welcomes Dr. Abdullah Muhammad teaching us of these brave men.
