Oh beautiful many of us felt like we would never really get a chance to fight. I didnt realize at the time it was because of the color of my skin. America the story of africanamericans in world war ii is indeed a legacy of patriotism and valor. In 1941, americans looked at their world and saw war everywhere. Across the atlantic, german troops occupied nearly every inch of europe, from france to russia, to the baltic sea to africa. In the pacific, the Japanese Army has captured many areas. Pearl harbor would stun the United States into war. The first thing i did was go down to the Army Recruiting station and enlist in the service of my country. I was told there was no quarter for black troops. You got to remember that this country was very discriminatory, d segregated and there was no change. First of all, black sailors as sailors per se werent permitted into the navy. Given the fact that i was in the segregated army, that made no difference. I joined the army to fight for the country.
