Thank God My Mother Isn’t Here to See This
<p>Mygrandfather was Calvin Luther Muldrow. One of a dozen brothers and sisters, he fought in World War I. Although he died when I was young, I recall his stories about how he survived the Great War. I remember hearing how he spent weeks in a foxhole in the Swiss Alps, sick from the malaria that nearly killed him. He returned home bearing the helmet of a German soldier whom he’d dispatched in battle as evidence of his wartime experience.</p>
<p>Two of my uncles, Calvin L. Muldrow, Jr. and Roger Johnson, fought in World War II, and the Korean War, respectively. Like my grandfather before them, they fought to defend America’s ideals. They all fought against fascism and Nazism. They fought for democracy. They did these things despite being forced to serve in a segregated military.</p>
