How A Black WWII Veteran From South Carolina Changed History
In February 1946, Sgt. Isaac Woodard, a decorated Black soldier returning from World War II, rode a Greyhound bus, heading home to South Carolina. The ride took a turn as he was pulled off the bus and brutally attacked by a Batesburg police chief.
