Prisoners Of War (POWs)

 


"First of all, they wanted to know why the American Negro wanted to come to Vietnam; why did he allow himself to be sent to Vietnam? ... They even went so far as to remind me that black leaders - like Malcolm X - were being assassinated back home. They told me that Negroes were getting machine-gunned in the streets of America and that Newark and all those places had blown up." — S/Sgt. James E. Jackson Jr., 1968
