  • An 18-year-old soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country will finally be brought home. Howard S. Magers was a Navy Seaman 2nd Class, assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma. On Dec. 7, 1941, the Oklahoma capsized in Pearl Harbor after being hit by several torpedoes during an air attack from Japan. Magers was identified using dental and anthropological analysis, as well as mitochondrial and autosomal DNA. #InsideEdition

      @Hit Quixote special not perfect. WW2 was one of the main catalysts for the civil rights movement because many African Americans fought and served with courage and honour for a country that treated them terribly. This was actually a pivotal point in history and these men where the same people that came back a voted for de segregation and equality 10 years after the war. They shouldn’t be know for the generation that oppressed Black Americans but the generation that changed how Americans, black and white like their lives today.
