WW2 Liberator Paul Parks on His Conversations with MLK | Black History Month

For Black History Month, we return to the words of Paul Parks, a World War II liberator who was active in the Civil Rights Movement with Dr. Martin Luther King. Paul was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942 and deployed to Europe as a combat engineer with the 365th Quartermaster Company. While teaching a group of soldiers how to deactivate mines, his unit was sent to liberate Dachau concentration camp. There, Paul helped survivors and assisted with identifying and burying victims. In his testimony, Paul speaks about the lasting effects of witnessing the aftermath of the Holocaust and his work with Dr. King.
