One of the core celebrations of the United States is the understanding of African Americans and the values that established freedom for all people around the world. Against deceptions, distortions, ignorance, and censorship, true patriotism focuses on the detailed facts about the American Revolution, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Cold War, and the Global War on Terrorism. At the heart of these facts are the principles of courage, dignity, and justice represented by the Americans who embrace the Black Freedom Struggle.
