Description
In the 1940s, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point was out of reach for most African Americans due to racial barriers. Clifford Worthy was one of the first who was accepted and excelled as a Black Knight of the Hudson. His courageous Army service around the world balanced military and family life, even as they raised a child with special needs.
