Wendell Pierce Discusses ‘True Patriotism’

Actor Wendell Pierce explains how his father, an African American World War II veteran, was denied the medals he earned while serving in the war. After learning about this discrimination, Pierce contacted the World War II Museum so his father could have the medals he deserved. Here he talks about what “true patriotism” is: “When the country wasn’t loving my father, my father was loving his country. It’s the ultimate act of patriotism.”
