Courage Has No Color: The True Story of the Triple Nickles: America's First Black Paratroopers by Tanya Lee Stone
5.0
I can't believe my summer reading has come to an end. Don't get me wrong, I am reading professional development books and novels but the non-fiction the fabulous librarians pulled for me to read, ended with this book. Talk about going out with a bang!
In addition to learning about the Triple Nickles, the first Black paratroopers, I also learned about Buffalo soldiers, and balloon bombs sent to the US by Japan with one landing as far east as Michigan.
The usual suspects from WWII were mentioned in this book. Many new ones had their stories told. This is a story I think every student should know before graduating from high school. I guess it's good that I'm not in charge of graduation requirements.
