Early in life things seem to have come easy to military veteran Frank Coats. When drafted to the front lines of the Korean War, Coats was promoted to sergeant within a year. But he quickly found out racism often puts African Americans in harm's way. Staying employed and living life responsibly had  its difficulties--even grave ones--but Mr. Coats and his never-give-up attitude came through. Hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh are reminded of life's solid principles during this conversation with Mr. Coats who  had to do a deal under the table when purchasing his home as only the second African American family to settle in Compton, CA. This episode first aired on KBLA Talk 1580.
