Abstract:On February 13, 2003, Cheryl Cattledge, Civil Rights Specialist and member of the FHWA Black History Committee, sponsored a Luncheon Program entitled The ALCAN (Alaska-Canada) Highway, Built by World War II Black Regiments. The committee members who helped Ms. Cattledge organize the event are Ilze Abolins, Tashia Clemons, Rise' Stevens and Charles Wilkins. Acting Division Administrator Larry Anderson welcomed the guests and luncheon speaker, M. "Phil" Oglesby, III. Mr. Oglesby talked about the 3,695 black soldiers of the 1,670 who participated in the construction of the 1600-mile inland road called the Alaska Military Highway. Built to secure Alaska, via an inland route, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the highway stretches from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Fairbanks, Alaska.
