Politically, militarily. Country, ourhis views on gender and racial equality are shaped by the experiences in world war ii. There were black americans, hundreds of thousands of them, who served in the war mostly in allblack units. It was a segregated military. Many of them had a double v campaign. Victory against fascist opponents overseas and victory against racism at home. And the dignity, the empowerment, the sense of service, the sense of cohesion that that experience brought to black america was a propulsion system for the Civil Rights Movement after the war. The same for gender equality. We had 19 million american women working outside of the home during world war ii. Many of them went back to the homemakers after the war. But you dont put that genie back in the model for long. It showed women that they had an opportunity to do whatever men could do, that they could do things that men could do as well, if not better. Whether it was riveting together a ship, working in a science l
