The Black people served in the supply forces, as cooks, as general workers and to serve back in the US. Eleanor Roosevelt felt for the plight of the black service people and finally got the congress to allow the Blacks to serve in combat. They became gunners on the ships, pilots (Tuskegee Airmen) and tank warriors and put into other infantry positions. They turned out to be America's best pilots and tank regiments. They were also the most highly decorated pilots of the war. The ones who could not read however did not get to excel.
