The 1944 G.I. Bill’s Promise was denied to 1 Million Black WWII Veterans due to Racism.  The G.I. Bill Restoration Act to resolve GI Bill Racial inequities introduced by Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) and Seth Moulton, (D-Mass) would help benefit the families of Black WWII veterans and highlight the story of WWII Veteran, Sgt. Isaac Woodard who was beaten by a White Police Officer and blinded in 1946 fueling The Civil Rights Movement.  This is one of the policies that would help Repair the damage of 246 Years of Slavery and decades of Jim Crow Segregation, Redlining, Housing Discrimination, Racism, etc. - TheAHNShow with Michael Imhotep 3-21-23
