A Red Ball Express graphic hangs on a door inside the State Commodity Warehouse, New Britain, Connecticut, March 8th, 2022. The graphic illustration itself is based off a sign that was constructed by U.S. Army service members near Alençon, France and became famous after being photographed on September 5th, 1944. African American soldiers made up approximately 75% of the Red Ball Express’s supply truck drivers, which delivered crucial materials, such as rations and ammo, to the front during the liberation of France during World War II.
