Honoring Unsung Heroes: National Geographic Pays Tribute to WW2 Soldiers of Color with New Specials
Featuring Idris Elba and Sheryl Lee Ralph
National Geographic continues its legacy of illuminating pivotal historical moments with depth and insight, as it prepares to debut two groundbreaking specials on Monday, June 3. "ERASED: WW2’S HEROES OF COLOR," a four-part docuseries executive produced and narrated by Idris Elba ("Hijack"), and "THE REAL RED TAILS," a one-hour documentary narrated by Sheryl Lee Ralph ("Abbott Elementary"), will offer viewers a poignant glimpse into the often-overlooked contributions of Allied soldiers of color during World War II.
