“They got second-class everything: food, health care, living conditions.”
In a @postlive event, actor @morganfreeman talked with Post columnist Eugene Robinson over his involvement in telling the story of the 761st Tank Battalion.
“I learned history from the movies,” Freeman said in a previous interview. “One of the things wrong with me learning history in the movies was that I didn’t see me. That bothered me. Still bothers me.”
“761st Tank Battalion: The Original Black Panthers” premieres Aug. 20 on the @HISTORY Channel
Why don’t we know all of American history?
I had the opportunity to sit down with David Martin for @CBSSundayMorning to discuss our latest project; The 761st Tank Battalion: The Original Black Panthers Coming to @History on August 20th.
We tell the story of the first Black tank unit to serve in combat during WWII, and explore the major battles they faced while in combat and when they returned home.

A special thanks to @TheLoriMcCreary, my producing partner, our #RevelationsEntertainment team and Director, Phil Bertelsen for working so hard to bring the truth forward in our latest release, The 761st Tank Battalion: The Original Black Panthers.

Come Out Fighting: The Epic Tale of the 761st Tank Battalion 1942-1945. This is a story that resonates deeply with me. It sheds light on the courageous journey of the first Black tank battalion to fight in World War II, a time when our armed forces were segregated, and Black soldiers were often relegated to support roles behind the front lines.
What struck me most about their story is the undeniable truth it holds. Why, I often wonder, do we not know all of American history? It’s stories like this that deserve to be heard, celebrated, and remembered. We are committed to bringing this remarkable tale to the public, with all its depth, wonder, bravery, and undeniable guts. Stay tuned for more. 🇺🇸🎬 #761stTankBattalion #AmericanHistoryUntold #BraveryAndGuts” – Morgan Freeman
