Davis Jr. entered West Point in 1932 as its only black cadet and spent the next four years shunned. He roomed alone and ate alone. The future Tuskegee Airman and trailblazing Air Force general later recalled he was &#8220;an invisible man.&#8221; Now more than a decade after his death, the academy that ostracized Davis is honoring him.
