Attended February 25, 2017 screening of documentary WITH ONE TIED HAND-detailed recollections by two wounded Buffalo Soldiers who helped liberate Lucca, Italy in World War II, returned to a 'Jim Crow' America, and then revisited Lucca as treasured heroes for a reinactment of the liberation. The central recounter in the documentary is Ivan Houston. See pic with Mr. Houston whose personal biography is titled Black Warriors. See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YlU1a7H7Pw. Black Warriors was co authored by retired teacher/historian Gordon Cohn. Mr. Cohn has reminded me numerous times that as a teenage Pony League baseball player, I was always smiling but seldom smile today. See pic of Mr. Gordon Cohn.
