Seventy five years on from the first American bomber raid taking off from British soil to attack targets in Nazi-occupied Europe, poet Sugar Brown hears how the thousands of American soldiers who arrived in the UK in 1942 were segregated by race - both when they were in uniform and when they were out on civvy street. First broadcast on Making History, 5 July 2017.
