Milton Samuel J. Wright was the only African American to have a direct conversation with Adolf Hitler. A brilliant economist, educator, and was fluent in German, Wright’s 1932 encounter was reenacted in the Dec. 3, 1944 episode of the radio program, "New World A-Coming."

It was. In 2022, there was a short independent drama film titled "Bamber Bridge." It was directed by Mark D. Bonner. As for a well made feature film...that hasn't happened yet.

In 1943, Black American soldiers in England faced a battle not against Hitler—but against Jim Crow. The Battle of Bamber Bridge showed how racism followed the U.S. Army overseas—and how one British town saw those men simply as soldiers, as equals, and was proud to have them.
