Okręty wojenne Sezon 4 Odcinek 3: Hidden Figures

Over the history of warfare, Black sailors often found themselves fighting two battles: one against the enemy, and one against racism within their own ranks. In this episode, we celebrate some of the hidden heroes who stepped out of the shadows to win freedom, equality, and the right to serve their country in maritime combat. We’ll follow the stories of a 14-year-old enslaved powder boy who served during the French and Indian War, a Civil War gunner, and the first African American to command a vessel with a fully integrated crew: Hugh Mulzac.
