The U.S. Military Academy Equal Opportunity Office presented this year’s Black History Month Observance Feb. 25 at Eisenhower Hall Theatre. The event included guest speakers Doug Melville (pictured), a corporate diversity officer who is the great nephew of 1936 USMA graduate Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Jr., and professional jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, who spoke about the jazz influence on America and the all-black 369th Infantry Regiment who were just as impressive playing their musical instruments as they were on the battlefield during World War I.
