- By 1945, America's losses of troops were affecting them so much that they had forced the military to start placing African American troops into positions like soliders, cooks, nurses, etc.
- Although they were placed into a harsh enviroment, all of them had done their job with honor and pride like any other. Their enthusiasm was a way to show that African Americans deserved greater rights (as racism wasn't fully solved at the time.)
- During that, the Double V movement was also taking place. It standed for "Victory Abroad and Victory at Home".
- It's purpose was to promote the fight for democracy overseas (Victory Abroad) and demand equality for African Americans (Victory at Home).
- Although racism hadn't fully ended, it was impactful anyway. The movement was basically the opening salvo in the Civil Rights Movement.
- White people had also began accepting African Americans into society as they had helped in the war.
- Not only that, but after the year-long campaign, it brought African American's together with a bond and embraced the effort of Black Americans.
- So, the effort made into the war from black people was a changing point in society.
