Invisible Generals Rediscovering Family Legacy, and a Quest to Honor America's First Black Generals

Invisible Generals. This book was partially inspired by you going to see Red Tails. Yeah. You hated it.

And he said, Doug, if you think changing a name in a movie is bad, let me tell you the family story to let you know how I lived. And then maybe you could see why that doesn't mean as much to me as it means to you.

So the invisible generals are America's first two black generals, a father and a son, General Benjamin O. Davis, senior and General Benjamin O. Davis, junior.

But their story had never been told. And it was my passion to go out and write it.

So it was important for me as a family member to say I am going to take control of this narrative and I am going to write it so the actual words in history that happened can be told in an accurate way.

I got Doug Melville, Invisible General.

So Invisible Generals is my family story of America's first two black generals. And these two gentlemen, a father and a son, were critical to the integration of the United States of America's military, which was 75 years ago this year.

And also were the two men responsible for getting the legislation passed to create the Tuskegee Airmen. And then the son commanded the Tuskegee Airmen.

Probably from the beginning. My dad, that was kind of how he presented the story to me about Ben and his father as the Invisible Generals.

I would like people to get from Invisible Generals. First off, we need to support our veterans and tell our stories of our veterans.

Yeah, so Invisible Generals is my family story of America's first two black generals.

So the more I started researching this, the more I realized is that the people who film the story or write the story own the story because people in the military are public servants. So it's all public domain.

So my biggest thing of like my purpose was when I started finding out after Red Tails, the families of these movies that we watch don't necessarily get paid.
