New Cadet Barracks Named for GEN Benjamin O. Davis Jr. ’36
West Point proudly announces that the newest cadet barracks, expected to be completed in 2016, will be named in honor of General Benjamin Oliver Davis Jr. ’36. Davis was a pioneer of his time.

In 1941, he was accepted as one of the first Tuskegee Airmen, earning aviation wings one year later. Read More
