During World War II, African Americans faced significant barriers in many areas, particularly in the military and in employment. Although they served valiantly in segregated units, they were often denied opportunities for advancement and faced discrimination within the armed forces. Additionally, many defense industries refused to hire African Americans or relegated them to lower-paying, less skilled positions, limiting their economic opportunities. This systemic racism not only hindered their contributions during the war but also perpetuated inequalities that persisted long after.
