Excerpts from Bloods
Black servicemen in Vietnam had more to worry about than enemy fire: Cross burnings, Confederate Flags, Unfair Duty assignments, not to mention returning to a country that saw them as second-class citizens. In 1989 Wallace Terry interviewed twenty black Vietnam Vets veterans as part of the collection "Bloods: an Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans." 5 of those interviews became a radio piece, courtesy of producer Katie Davis
