Reading the obits, I learned a couple things I didn't know (because I hadn't closely followed his career).

One, he served under Patton in the Battle of the Bulge (as did my dad). And two, he became a big-time civil-rights activist after having witnessed racism during and after his time in the Army.

"Bennett was reassigned from Special Services to Graves Registration, where he dug up the bodies of American soldiers killed in combat for reburial in military cemeteries. The experience “was just as bad as it sounds,” he recalled."
