UK Village Honored for Fighting Racism in U.S. Military

Bamber Bridge in England resisted segregation of Black soldiers during WW2.
Black soldiers faced mistreatment from white military police in the U.S. army.
A battle between Black soldiers and white MPs in 1943 left one dead and many facing trial.
The village is commemorating the 80th anniversary of standing up against segregation.
The U.S. military eventually ended segregation and worked to address past discrimination.
