1. Remember reading/hearing about segregated units in WW2. How could

that happen “fighting for democracy?” I’m sure it was same or worse in WW1.

2. my father was there

in France 1945. He told me, while we were talking over drinks in Saigon, how prejudiced(his word) the white soldiers were in Britain during the staging for the Normandy invasion. How hateful and violent. And on and on it continues. 2021.

3. My dad grew up in South, so at 18 in 1940/41 he was certainly no

civil rights activist (probably ambivalent or just not aware at that time), but he often criticized the segregated units he saw when he joined.
