Did the United states have racial segregation during world war 2?
During World War II, Black recruits were placed in all Black units. Under Truman, the armed forces were de-segregated. The Supreme Court even ordered several southern states to admit blacks to state-supported professional schools because segregated medical and legal training they offered blacks was not equal in quality to that provided for whites. Segregation continued to exist in the South during the war. The races were divided by law in the South–de jure– and in the North, the races were often separated–de facto–by neighborhoods.
