Meet Lawrence Brooks (aged 112), a proud member of our Allied Forces, and the oldest living WWII veteran.
Lawrence is pictured here wearing a copy of his old summer uniform and holding his 91st Engineer Battalion badge - the picture was taken during a recent stay in a New Orleans hospital.
Brooks, the son of Louisiana farmers and one of 15 children, was born in 1909, just north of Baton Rouge in Norwood. He grew up outside of Stephenson, Mississippi, a small sawmill town where his family moved to work during the depression.
"I just want to be remembered as a good soldier," said Lawrence.

The Creation of Adam and the Biblical Origins of Race in The Slave’s Friend (1836–1838)
by Kerry M. Sonia
The creation of Adam out of dust is a familiar tradition from the Book of Genesis. In abolitionist literature of the nineteenth century, this biblical narrative became the basis for a theory about the origins of race, arguing that because Adam was formed from red clay, neither he nor his descendants were white. This interpretation of Genesis underscored the value of non-white ancestors both in the biblical narrative and in human history and undermined popular theological arguments that upheld color-based racial hierarchies that privileged whiteness in the United States. This article examines the creation of Adam in Genesis 2 and its use in racial theory and abolitionist rhetoric, focusing on the children’s anti-slavery periodical The Slave’s Friend, published from 1836 to 1838.
