SGT. Herculando Dias - "The U.S. Army's First, Last and Only All-Black Rangers"
We are interviewing Herculano Dias of the 2nd Company Airborne Rangers (Korea). Former Sgt. Dias was a part of the elite and only all black Ranger Divisions in the History of the United States. This interview covers a book by Edward L. Posey entitled "The U.S. Army's First, Last and Only All-Black Rangers". This interview shows an in-depth look into not only the racial strife of the 1950's but also explores the narrow mindset of racial equality of the time. Further, it explores the war from a firsthand account while bringing to light the accomplishments of our black forces and the everyday struggles and bravery they experienced.
