Held in Trust: The Story of Lt. Henry O Flipper
pages
Editorial ReviewPowerful dramatic recreations and archival photography tell this story of Lt. Henry Flipper, the first black graduate from West Point Military Academy.

General Colin Powell introduces this tribute to Lt. Flipper and his triumphant struggle to vindicate his name.
