Slidell, LA – Terry Unc Imo Brown, a 74-year-old Vietnam War veteran, is on a mission to preserve the stories of those who served alongside him, particularly those impacted by racial injustice during the conflict. Along with his work as a multi-talented artist, Brown is drawing attention to the overlooked experiences of Black soldiers in the Vietnam War while advocating for military justice. His upcoming book, Surviving The Vietnam War, and his musical career serve as platforms for this crucial cause.
Enlisting in the U.S. Army at the age of 18, Brown quickly rose through the ranks to E-4. However, his time in the military was marred by experiences of racial discrimination. In 1969, Brown, along with four other Black soldiers, endured harsh treatment from a racist mess sergeant, a chapter in their lives that has largely been forgotten. The soldiers were discreetly shipped out in the middle of the night, leaving their personal stories and the deep-seated trauma they faced untold for decades.
Brown’s efforts now focus on reconnecting with his fellow soldiers, ensuring their shared experiences are remembered and acknowledged. His book, Surviving The Vietnam War, which is available on Amazon, recounts this painful history and sheds light on the racism that defined many veterans’ experiences. “This book is not only about the suffering we endured but also about the resilience that kept us moving forward,” said Brown. “I hope it will serve as a reminder of the injustices we faced and inspire others to never forget.”
In addition to his advocacy for military justice, Brown has pursued a career in music. Under the name Uncimo, he has released tracks that speak to his experiences and the strength of those who fought with him. Available on platforms like Spotify and iTunes, his music has struck a chord with listeners drawn to his authentic storytelling and the passion embedded in every note. “Each song I release represents a chapter of my life, an opportunity to share the journey and message of survival,” Brown explained.
Through his combined efforts in literature and music, Brown is raising awareness about the broader issue of racial injustice within the military. His goal is to amplify the voices of veterans who, like him, suffered in silence for too long. “I’m a veteran, and we never give up,” Brown said. “The fight for justice continues, and I will keep searching for my brothers in arms. It’s a fight all veterans deserve.”
Brown invites people to follow his journey and learn more about his work on his website, Uncimo.com, which includes both his book and music.
