Captain Riley Leroy Pitts grew up in Oklahoma City and graduated from Douglass High School. At age 30, he was killed in Vietnam. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the first Black officer to receive it. Today he is honored in OKC at Pitts Park and at Manuel Perez Park, where we have a monument to all our Medal of Honor recipients. This past week, ABC News did this wonderful report, and if you didn’t know about Capt. Pitts, I encourage you to invest three minutes in this video. | May
