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?
