Black History Month:  Benjamin Oliver Davis Sr., the first African-American general for he U.S. Army, battled segregation by developing and implementing plans for the limited desegregation of U.S. combat forces in Europe during World War II.  He rose slowly through the ranks, becoming the first black colonel in the army in 1930. During World War II, he headed a special unit charged with safeguarding the status and morale of black soldiers in the army, and he served in the European theater as a special adviser on race relations.  In 1940, he was promoted to brigadier general by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Following many years of service, he became an advisor for the military on racial discrimination, pushing for full integration of the armed forces.  He earned a Bronze Star and Distinguished Service Medal.
