Participation in the war can be problematic for African Americans due to systemic racism and discrimination, both within the military and society at large. Despite their contributions and sacrifices, they often face segregation, unequal treatment, and limited opportunities for advancement in the armed forces. Additionally, upon returning home, many African American veterans encounter continued racial injustice and lack of recognition, which can lead to feelings of betrayal and disillusionment. This complex interplay of valor and inequality highlights the challenges they face in seeking both recognition and equality.
African Americans who served in the war are commonly referred to as African American soldiers or African American servicemen.
