The Alaska Highway Project seeks to tell the hidden tale of the "colored regiments" that helped build the Alaska-Canada Highway in 1942, immediately following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 5,000 of the workers on this grueling project were treated as something less than human, despite their military service. Persevering and eventually triumphing, these stalwarts proved their competence and ability as construction engineers, opening the gates of respect that eventually led to the desegregation of the American military, and eventually, of the entire country. Few of these men still walk among us; we were privileged to meet and interview 100 year old Sgt. Reginald Beverly in Virginia, and hear the details of his experience.
