On October 25, 1940, Benjamin O Davis Sr. became the first African American General in United States Army. An excerpt from the article:

"Though he was not able to serve on the front lines during World War I, afterward, Davis continued to fight for advancement and traveled around the country to different positions. After the war, he became a professor of military science and tactics at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Davis spent the next decades serving in various instructor roles with the Ohio National Guard, New York National Guard, Wilberforce University, and the Tuskegee Institute. On October 25, 1940, Davis was promoted to brigadier general, making him the first Black general in the Army."
