    Fort Knox

    Maj. Gen. Jacob Devers, commanding general of Fort Knox, stands in front of a tank shortly before pinning on his third star in this undated photo. Devers provided “top cover” for Ma Collier to recruit some of the nation’s most famous black entertainers to perform at Fort Knox during World War II. That tradition carried on for several years after the war.
