| Résumé : |
During the Second World War, thousands of African-American soldiers participated, believing that their contribution on the battlefield would lead to increased civil rights both at home and in the military. Despite their patriotism, they faced racial discrimination and were subjected to racial prejudice. Due to the harsh treatment and the discriminatory practices, African-American activism and protest began to surge. African-American leaders fought for a double victory, victory at home and victory abroad. In that response, in 1942, the Pisttburgh Courier, the nation’s largest black newspaper, started the Double V campaign, which stressed the right of African-Americans to have equality in the United States since they were fighting inequality abroad. The struggle that African-American soldiers carried on, took on special significance when the army started its action towards integration, and the American society began to recognize the rights of African-American citizens. |
