This was one of the most important and great periods of my dad's life. For Black teen born into poverty in Mississippi, being a U.S. Army soldier in Germany was the time when he felt most American. He took so much pride in his service and shared so many memories with me. — PolitiTweet.org

There have been so many moments since the 1619 Project published more than three years ago that I've wished my dad were here to witness, but this is a particularly special one: A German translation of the #1619Project. The very first photo in the book is of my dad in Germany. https://t.co/bhdLQy2RsP — PolitiTweet.org

My dad spoke fluent German and would have never, ever imagined that his story would be one day be written in German, that his story would play a role in helping people there understand the centrality of Black Americans to the American story. This is a beautiful moment for me. — PolitiTweet.org
