The second world war gave African American men more service jobs in the military (like nursing, not fighting abroad though) and a African American women worked in mobilization jobs, which turned American into an economic powerhouse. Even though I would argue that African American got more inclusion into American society following the war, racism lingered. So, what truly changed for African Americans following the war was the effort to protect civil rights in the 1960s. Thanks to the Double V campaign for African Americans in the war (fight evil abroad and fight racial violence at home), many African American turned to making more domestic civil rights differences in the upcoming decades. To sum up, there were some new job opportunities and societal inclusions for AAs following the war, but new efforts to stage a Civil Rights Movement were more impactful from the war. This is more necessary to understand and realize.

World War II created new opportunities for African Americans by increasing demand for labor in wartime industries, leading to job openings that challenged the prevailing racial discrimination in the workforce. The migration of African Americans from rural South to urban centers in the North and West for these jobs allowed them to escape Jim Crow laws and seek better living conditions. Additionally, the war effort and the fight against fascism highlighted the hypocrisy of racial inequality at home, fueling the Civil Rights Movement and prompting greater advocacy for social change and equality.
World War I significantly altered the lives of African Americans by accelerating the Great Migration, as many moved from the rural South to urban centers in the North in search of better job opportunities in war industries. The war also fostered a sense of pride and activism, as African Americans served in the military and fought for democracy abroad while confronting racism and discrimination at home. This period laid the groundwork for the civil rights movements that would follow, as returning veterans and activists began to demand equal rights and social justice. Overall, the war was a catalyst for change, highlighting both the contributions and the struggles of African Americans in the United States.
