Dear Mr. Poss, and other Veterans:
My name is Shawn Williams, a young New York City actor from Cleveland, OH. I am currently in the process of writing my own one-man show. The show consists of several African American male characters--one being a vietnam vet. This particular character is based on a real vet that I knew back home. While I recall some of the stories that he has told me, I have lost a lot of details over the years. I am mostly interested in the "Black experience" during the war, and would like to get feedback from anyone on how blacks managed, were treated, interacted, etc. "I respect your position as soldiers, and human beings. With that said, I assure you that anything you share will only be used as reference." I thank you for taking the time to read this, and hope to hear from you soon!
Blacks in the War!
