My Take
Eugene Bullard's life reads like something too dramatic to be invented. Born in Georgia in 1895, he became a boxer, a French Foreign Legionnaire, and one of the very few Black combat pilots of World War I, flying for France because his own country would not let him. The string of decorations he earned, including the Legion of Honour, speaks for itself. What moves me is how he broke through walls of racism with sheer courage and skill in an era stacked entirely against him. History too often overlooks figures like this. I think his name deserves to be spoken with deep respect.
