Lunchbox Lecture: "World War II Military Service as Civil Rights Activism" by Dr. Marcus Cox, Xavier University |
Military service during World War II and racial integration in the armed forces heightened expectations for social progress. Black men and women returned from World War II with more than a sense of entitlement to the benefits of first-class citizenship. In many cases they held a new determination to lead their communities in the quest for civil and equal rights. Sponsored by AARP Louisiana. Date:
