Black Marines acknowledged years after World War II & Los Angeles City Condom "Suit Up"

 
If you have seen the movie red tails or know about this portion of balck history than you know about Tuskegee airman of the our nations air force who were a black only unit in the military that fought to support our freedom. In the same way there were black marines who served in segregated units and have unfortunately received less press. However Thursday some 400 men were honored for there hard work. They received awards from our nation’s congress that was due them in the 40s for their service in World War 2.
LA County has its own condom. That’s right; the slogan of the new contraceptive is “suit up.” Its design features a black bow tie. This particular condom was the winning design of a contestant where over 500 entries were submitted to the "L.A.'s Next Sex Symbol" competition in May. The decision on which design to choose was made by a panel of judges including popular blogger Perez Hilton. They will be distributed free of charge across the county later this year.
