This Sunday, 2 AUG 2020, Citizens Against Intolerance and the League of United Latin American Citizens will be telecasting a virtual rally to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the issuance of Executive Order 9981, which desegregated the US military. The rally is virtual because of Washington, DC’s COVID-19 response precautions and orders and was recorded this past Sunday, 26 JUL 2020.
