SGT. Herculando Dias - "The U.S. Army’s First, Last and Only All-Black Rangers”

We are interviewing Herulano Dias of the 2nd Company Airborne Rangers (Korea). Former Sgt. Dias was a part of the elite and only all black Ranger Divisions in the History of the United States. This interview covers a book by Edward L. Posey entitled “The U.S. Army’s First, Last and Only All-Black Rangers”. This interview shows an in-depth look into not only the racial strife of the 1950’s but also explores the narrow mindset of racial equality of the time. Further, it explores the war from a firsthand account while bringing to light the accomplishments of our black forces and the everyday struggles and bravery they experienced.


"The U.S. Army's First, Last and Only All Black Rangers by Edward Posey
This is a book for every shelf either at home or in the classroom. Korea was a forgotten war and in that forgetting a lot of men were forgotten too. This is a great read that I whole heartedly recommend." - Craig Anderson

On a personal note: We are proud to announce that Cassie has had her baby. We are hoping that she will join us Monday Night at 10PM to fill us all in on the new addition.

Congratulations Cassie and Kelly!

Monday

Every Monday night at 10PM we host a talk show called "The Relic Roundup". Hosted by Craig of OHP, Butch Holcombe of American Digger and Ian Conway of Research and Recovery. The title may frighten some but the show is really about learning, preserving and collecting America's past.

Sometimes we make our own topics like restaurants, movies, cars, clothes, headphones music and the list just keeps going on and on. So don't think it is only for those who metal detect.

You can call in to 678-369-7943 or skype in to wesley.c.anderson during the show.


This Monday's Guest

We will be having a guest from Kellyco, the Metal Detecting Superstore for at least part of the show. So, if you ever wanted to get a detector, upgrade, try a hand at prospecting or any other type of treasure hunting tonight is the night to call in with your questions. Again, the numbers are 678-369-7943 or skype: wesley.c.anderson.

Tell Us A Story

This week the show is not only for the history lover, metal detectorist or collectors but also for those aspiring to get into print. That’s right- Do you write? Do you want to? Or better yet - should you?

In this episode the Publisher of American Digger Magazine and Author of several books tells us what we should know about submissions, content and the do’s and don’ts of the writing industry. In essence this is not only what he looks for but every print publication looks for. This is one of those shows that is for any and everyone so pass it around.

It also brings up again the question: Should you write? I’m at fault here as well. I spend a lot of time researching but not a lot of time writing, but think about this – What are you finding in the field? Who was there? Why are you looking for this stuff in the first place? And the questions go on and on. Let us preserve this history with a little story.

OHP Radio - Finding Slavery

Today Butch and I take a look into Slavery, its trade, its past and some items that part of our dark history left behind. You may be thinking that the advent of slavery started when the white man first set foot on North American soil but we take a deeper look into the topic. In this country the focus will always be on the Enslaved Africans and rightly so and Our History Project is proud to engage in the topics of our history and our future. This may seem like a depressing topic but as always we make history fun. So, sit back, relax and join us as we introduce another “In the Dirt with American Digger” sement.

Have a great week,
Craig
