  • Black Swimmers of WWII

    Black Swimmers of WWII

    Black Lifesavers of WWII (c) Bruce Wigo, International Swimming Hall of Fame 2016 The Medal of Honor was established by an act of the United States Congress, in the early days of the American Civil War, to recognize members of the military who distinguished themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty. While heroism has been shown throughout history to be both class and color-blind, the individuals responsible for recognizing these acts have not always been as egalitarian. Racist attitudes and segregationist policies combined to deprive African Americans and other minorities of recognition by means of the Medal of Honor. There were, however, exceptions: of the 2060 Medals of Honor distributed between the Civil War and Spanish-American War, 51 medals were awarded to African Americans. One of the exceptions was Robert Augustus Sweeney, an ordinary seaman, who is one of only 19 servicemen to have received the Medal of Honor twice. In both instances, one in 1881 and the other in 1883, Sweeney, a powerful swimmer, dove off his ship, at the peril of his own life, to rescue shipmates who had fallen overboard. Coinciding with white southern politicians regaining influence in Washington in the 1880s, mass migrations of former slaves to northern states and negative stereotyping of African Americans discrimination became widespread in American culture. By the turn of the new century, these attitudes were also reflected in the policies and nature of service by African Americans in the armed forces. Negroes were no longer deemed capable of serving in the navy in any capacity other than as stewards, messmen or stevedores.

    Military History Anniversaries 1 thru 15 May Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests May 01 1778 – American Revolution: The Battle of Crooked Billet begins in Hatboro, Pennsylvania » On 1 JAN John Lacey was appointed brigadier-general and given command of a large body of militia with the aim of interrupting British supply lines, especially those reaching Philadelphia. Crooked Billet was the Headquarters of Lacey, and became the target of the British commander in Philadelphia, Gen. William Howe. Lacey had been charged with patrolling the area north of Philadelphia, between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, with responsibility for warning Valley Forge of attacks, checking British foraging raids, and preventing local trade with the British. Most of the enlistments of the few troops he had were due to expire shortly. Promised, and desperately needed, reinforcements were slow arriving or simply not coming. The British dispatched a joint force of British troops and Hessians on 30 APR and they surprised the American forces whose commander was still in bed. The British had surprised the Americans and attempted to cut them off with a "pincer" type movement. Bands of Loyalists and British horsemen grew increasingly bold, and their raids into Lacey's sector were becoming more frequent.
