Get your hands on the US Army's official history volume, "The Employment of Negro Troops" in the Second World War, by Professor Ulysses Lee, which the US Army has on their web page, and has reprinted. It has a lot of information in the back on how the Army changed after the war, as a result of the experience. The book was reprinted for the 50th anniversary of World War II, with a fine painting of black troops in a wartime dock operating company in the Pacific.
