In 1943, Black American soldiers arrived in Lancashire.🇬🇧🇺🇸

Back home, they couldn't eat in the same restaurants as white people. Couldn't drink in the same bars.

The locals didn't care about any of that.

They said come in.

Same pubs. Same pints. Same welcome as everyone else.

They danced together. Drank together. Walked through the village together.

One soldier said he didn't know he was coloured until he looked in the mirror.

Then the US commanders tried to stop it. They demanded the village separate them.

Every pub refused.

A barmaid called Gillian Vesey served whoever was next. No exceptions.

Military police walked into a pub and tried to arrest a soldier for wearing the wrong uniform.

A British soldier stood up.

"Why do you want to arrest them? They're not doing anything wrong."

That night, things turned violent. A soldier was killed. The commanding general blamed the white officers. Racist officers were removed.

The soldiers went home. But they carried something with them.

The memory of a place that treated them like people.

One veteran said: "These soldiers were never going back to accept being treated as less."

"None of us were."

A small Lancashire village showed them what was possible.

Not by marching. Not by protesting.

Just by being decent.

They didn't think they were being brave. They were just being British.🇬🇧

These 1310 NATO deaths are what “doing nothing” looks like according to a five-time draft dodger.

Successful #leaders and #businessowners recognise the importance of marginal gains. Small, well thought through improvements can have an exponential impact.

Yet large scale #change can reset the status quo, create a new norm.

How do you get the balance right ?
