The Progressive Movement and Anti-Semitism

===========================================
BLACK WWII SOLDIER SAVED BY JEWISH DOCTOR
There are elementary schoolchildren in Earl’s neighborhood who need to hear some of his stories.
They should hear about the time when Earl [an African American] was on Okinawa, “the rock” [during World War II].
He complained about segregation in the [American] Army and was thrown in the stockade [army prison] for insubordination.
One of his friends slipped out of the barracks at night and low-crawled to the fence line outside Earl’s cell.
His friend told Earl that he had overheard the commanding officer say that they were going to find a way to provoke Earl when he was on work detail, make Earl attack one of the guards, and then they would shoot him [dead].
They said: “That man will not leave the rock alive.”
They also need to hear Earl tell his story about the Jewish doctor on the [USA Army] base who did not want to see anyone punished on account of prejudice.
The doctor risked his own career, got Earl off the rock [Okinawa], and saved Earl’s life.
He also – to hear Earl tell it – changed Earl’s own prejudiced view of people who were Jewish.
