Monday morning, the first thing i did, was go down to the Army Recruiting station to enlist in the service of my country. I was told there was no quota for black troops. Youve got to remember that this country was very discriminatory, segregated, and there was no change. First of all, black sailors, as sailors per se, other than as mess attendants or stewards, werent permitted into the navy. Given the fact that i w
