Welcome to agoodblackman.com -- the only 100% Black-Owned web site dedicated to loving, honoring, uplifting and celebrating men of African descent and men of color by providing a place of information and inspiration.
Join us as we continue our
mission to celebrate the beauty, honor the history and continue
the legacy of excellence of Black men with positive stories about positive
people.
Each year, on the last Monday in May, our nation celebrates Memorial Day. This day carries no special meaning for many of us. We see it as perhaps an extra day off from work, an opportunity to barbeque at the beach, the "official" start of the summer travel season, or for retailers, this day is an opportunity to hold their annual Memorial Day Weekend sales.
In reality, this day is set aside in observance and in honor of our nation's armed service personnel who were killed in wartime. For AGBM, it is a time to honor the past and present men of color who served and continue to serve in the armed forces. In honor of Memorial Day, we invite you to share in our celebration of these African American heros:

African American Veterans Finally Receive The Medal of Honor
To correct a record of racial prejudice that lasted more than fifty years, President William Jefferson Clinton awarded seven African-American veterans of World War II our nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Of the six WW2 soldiers, Lt. Baker, who served with the 370th Infantry Regiment of the 92nd Infantry Division, was alone veteran to accept the Honor. The other six men are deceased.
