Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. graduated from West Point despite being "silenced" his entire 4 years there.

No single person spoke to him about anything but professional matters.

He never had a roommate.

He ate by himself.

He graduated in the top 15% of his class anyway, and went on to become the Group Commander of the Tuskegee Airmen, and a 3-star general in the United States Air Force.

I know of Davis’ story, but it should be an annual pronounced moment at West Point to hopefully show where the academy was and where it is now.

WHAT A GREAT GREAT MAN!
