Minority Role In World War ll
The minority role in World War 2 was compulsory. Without them, the war would have been lost. It gave the military numbers. With the minority contributing to war, they were freed from poverty and depression. Nonetheless, conjoining as one together on the battlefield didn't mean that all they were always together. There was still segregation occurring, as the blacks and whites were separated in different bases. Though the blacks were also given white comrades. Benjamin O Davis was the first African-American to be a general in World War 2.
“In Davis' day there weren't more than two or three.”
