What financial impact did World War 2 have on African Americans?

Answer 1

It encouraged some blacks to migrate to the West Coast, which had increased industrial activity due to the war in the Pacific. Changes in society, culminating in the desegregation of the armed forces, brought significant federal action on civil rights issues.

Answer 2

It increased economic opportunities for many African Americans.

It led to blacks moving to the West Coast.

It led to some of the first significant federal action on civil rights since Reconstruction.

Answer 3

The second world war gave African American men more service jobs in the military (like nursing, not fighting abroad though) and a African American women worked in mobilization jobs, which turned American into an economic powerhouse. Even though I would argue that African American got more inclusion into American society following the war, racism lingered. So, what truly changed for African Americans following the war was the effort to protect civil rights in the 1960s. Thanks to the Double V campaign for African Americans in the war (fight evil abroad and fight racial violence at home), many African American turned to making more domestic civil rights differences in the upcoming decades. To sum up, there were some new job opportunities and societal inclusions for AAs following the war, but new efforts to stage a Civil Rights Movement were more impactful from the war. This is more necessary to understand and realize.
