The Fight for Equal Opportunity
About the Book The Fight for Equal Opportunity: Blacks in America chronicles African American leadership in modern times, focusing on two of the most magnetic and essential figures in the struggle for racial equality: General Benjamin O. Davis Jr. and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Beginning with slavery, this book recounts the history of civil rights legislation throughout the twentieth century and sheds light on the arduous and valiant strides African American leaders made so that one day they could see one of their own become president of the country that enslaved them. About the Author Willie Jackson is a veteran of the United States Air Force, having served for thirty years. He retired from Tuskegee University after twenty-seven years of service, and served one year on the faculty at the Air Force University located on Maxwell Air Force Base.

Military Planning in the Twentieth Century
The essays, commentaries, and speeches which form this volume were presented at the Eleventh Military History Symposium, held at the United States Air Force Academy on 10-12 October 1984. This conference is a biennial event sponsored jointly by the Department of History and the Association of Graduates of the United States Air Force Academy. Begun in 1967, the series seeks to address problems in military history which have received limited attention and to provide a forum in which scholars may present the results of their research. In this manner we hope to stimulate and encourage interest in military history among civilian and military scholars, members of the armed forces, and the cadets of the United States Air Force Academy.
