1.African Americans faced many oppositions during the war. They were however given the oppurtunity beyond the segregation they faced by being able to be airmen. They had their own unit and in a way it was still a form of segregation. Even though in Africa they faced some of the same issues it still helped African Americans to deal with their segregation in the United States

2.The Cold War impact African American soldiers fighting for there freedom placing an impact on there freedom "separate but equal" black soldiers where only seen by black physicians. During the Great Depression black men and women picked up new skills and ideas bringing close bonds during the Cold War with Africans. African American did struggle for their freedom enlisting other ethnicities segregation still remained imbedded in the American life.  Dempsey reported, “I saw German prisoners free to move around the camp, unlike black soldiers who were restricted. The Germans walked right into the doggone places like any white American. We were wearin’ the same uniform, but we were excluded" (Darlene Hine, William Hine, Harold. 2012). African American soldiers had it worse than Italian soldiers the Italian soldiers were free to roam around going to bars whereas African American soldiers were restricted. The Nazi despised blacks they discriminated against not only blacks but Germans as well the Nazis banned "nigger" music jazz. "The U.S. Department of State sponsored worldwide tours of outstanding black jazz musicians to represent the positive dimensions of American culture. Still, the advocacy groups and black press that had come of age during the 1930s and 1940s focused attention on fighting racism and demanded the full rights and responsibilities of citizenship for all people," (Darlene Hine, William Hine, Harold. 2012).

3. World War ll brought on a whole new struggle for African Americans. Not only were African Americans fighting for their rights and equality at home, the United States was fighting for the same thing for a different country which seemed very ironic to many. The “Double V” Campaign was started in the U.S. during the war to help fight against fascism abroad and racism at home. “The “Double V” campaign: Slogan during World War II that stood for victory over fascism abroad and over racism at home for blacks” (Hines et al, 2013). African American’s fought these cultural permeations by fighting back for their rights. Before war, many African Americans were not permitted to engage in battle simply because of their skin color. Many African Americans fought for their rights and some were able to fight during the war. There were African American units sent out and also an integrated unit that turned out to work very well together. Paul Robeson was a very prominent person combating stereotypes during the war. “This fine scholar and star collegiate athlete, Columbia Law School graduate, consummate performer, and star of stage and screen had always advocated the rights of African Americans and workers” (Hines et al, 2013). Robeson was a well-known leader that took his people’s rights very seriously, with this came many disadvantages. Robeson experienced discrimination at his own concerts and from the government. The African American culture becomes more seasoned and filled with history as each era passes. The African American culture uses their hardships as learning tools and stepping stones to make progress throughout history.
