U.S. Aircraft Carrier Named After Doris Miller, An African American Hero At Pearl Harbor
The U.S. Navy named an aircraft carrier in honor of an African American for the first time during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day ceremony yesterday.
Doris Miller, the first African American to receive the Navy Cross for his courage during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, helped evacuate the West Virginia battleship before it sank and fired a machine gun at Japanese attackers until he ran out of ammunition. Navy Acting Secretary Thomas B. Modly said the USS Doris Miller will serve as a reminder of the nation’s pursuit for justice and as a tribute to its namesake.
