During wartime in the 1940's African-Americans were no different than they were prior to the war. In fact, they were enlisting and being drafted just the same as anyone else. However, they did not share the same combat groups as their non-African-American counter-parts because the military was not desegregated until Harry S. Truman ordered it to be done during his presidency after the war.
Did you know that World War II also saw the first African-American military aviators in The United States' Armed Forces?

Yes, the impact of Frederick Douglass is still felt today. He was a former slave who proved that African-Americans were equally as intelligent and articulate as white people. His impact on African-American pride is still felt today.

The KKK wanted to see African Americans only as Slaves and thought that was the reason they were on earth.
African Americans used many different strategies to gain equal rights during World War II. Specifically, Black leaders forced Roosevelt into doing something about the discrimination the military men were experiencing. So, the President created the Fair Employment Practices Commission. It was a council set up to deal with claims of discrimination by any minority working in the War.
doing so would help African Americans improve their standing in white-dominated society.

Because he spoke for us African Americans for freedom and to have our Rights. I feel if it wasn't for him the African Americans wouldn't be able to do what we are doing today, to those that wants and has an education.
They thought he was not doing enough to achieve equal rights for African Americans.
Not b/c of being African-Americans.But, anyone working outside jobs even in poor weather will be more likely to be struck by lightning. And maybeyou'll find more African-Americans doing that.
Most were fighting for the south.
