‘Invisible Generals’ tells story of 1st Black U.S. generals

A new book explores and honors the legacy of two exceptional American veterans whose contributions have gone largely unknown, until now. In “Invisible Generals,” author Doug Melville recounts his family history and tells the barrier-breaking stories of the country’s first Black generals. He joins Geoff Bennett to discuss the book and what inspired him to write it.
