Stay home, TiVo, set that VCR. See this on Saturday Night ...

For those of you who get it on cable, The History Channel presents "Honor Deferred" on Saturday night at 8:00PM. It's produced by Al Roker, hosted by Bernie Mac and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. Here's a story from our friends at EURWEB.com.

From the History Channel's website:

"African-Americans have fought bravely for America throughout our history. But sadly, until recently, they didn't receive deserved commendations.

This is the story of seven men who deserved the Medal of Honor for their valor during WWII, but only recently received their medals--six had already died. More than a million African-Americans served within the army's segregated ranks. Despite their bravery and courage, not one of the 432 Medal of Honors awarded went to a black soldier.

Was the army racist? Did African-Americans receive appropriate training? We explore all these issues and more in breathtaking recreations as we document the stories of the seven black Congressional Medal of Honor winners. Vernon Baker is the last living awardee. Witness as President Clinton presents these medals to Baker and the proud family members of the other six. "

To those of you who know the Mason story, this is familiar territory. To most Americans it is not.
