Study prompts the Pentagon to nominate
WWII veterans for Medal of Honor
RALEIGH
It took 15 months for Shaw
University professor Daniel
Gibranand his colleaguestogath
er research on why no black
WWII veterans received the
Medal of Honor. Gibran led the
study, which involved combing
through archives, interviewing
servicemen, and consulting with
other historians.
The conclusion: Racism wasthe
reason black soldiers did not re
ceive the top military award. Af
ter citing its conclusion, the 272-
page Shaw study went on to rec
ommend 10 soldiers whose mili
tary records warranted receipt of
the Medal of Honor. In January
1995, Gibran drove to Washing
ton with the team’s findings. Late
last month he received word that
the Pentagon had chosen seven of
the 10 soldiers recommended in
the study to receive the presti
gious medal. All ofthose nominat
ed had received less distinguished
awards for their military service.
The Pentagon’s reaction to the
$320,585 federally funded study
will mark the third time in histo
ry the military has re-evaluated
military records to bestow the
Medal of Honor.
