African Americans who served in the military during World War II gained valuable skills, pride, and a sense of agency, which significantly influenced their postwar decisions. Many returned home with a heightened awareness of civil rights and a determination to challenge racial discrimination. Their experiences in integrated units and the contrast with the racism they faced at home fueled activism, leading to increased participation in the Civil Rights Movement. This newfound assertiveness helped lay the groundwork for significant social and political changes in the years to come.
