How did events during World War II lay the groundwork for African Americans to fight for civil rights in the 1950s?
Answer (2)
They need more soldiers and so they put the Africans they bought out there, but they weren't allowed to fight with the whites.
World War II significantly boosted the civil rights movement for African Americans by increasing their participation in the workforce and military, fostering expectations for rights post-war, and leading to organized activism against discrimination. The Double V Campaign emphasized the fight for freedom both abroad and at home, while the government's responses to these demands marked important steps towards equality. This momentum laid the groundwork for further civil rights advancements in the 1950s.
