African Americans WWII BS Luke Raymond, Nick Brewer, Nick Nordhiem, Michael Calderwood, Bailee Fitz, Benjamin Marks

Introduction During WWII, African Americans faced the harsh realities of war with the added difficulties of segregation and discrimination. They persevered through the years of war and made their mark on history. Their resilience is commendable when most men could barely handle the mindless bloodshed going on around them. We will highlight some of the greater roles that African Americans played in one of the bloodiest wars ever fought. Slide by Lucas Duncan Raymond.

Hardships Faced by African Americans ● Segregation in training camps ● Ate in separate mess halls ● Slept in separate barracks ● Duties included cooking, cleaning rooms and shining shoes ● Racism ● Had to sit in the last row of movie theaters Nick Brewer, Ben Marks

Opportunities for African Americans: The Tuskegee Airmen ● African Americans comprised the 332nd Fighter Group of the 15th Air Force. ● They took on prestigious fighter missions such as escorting bombers and flying ground support. ● Nicknamed the Tuskegee Airmen, or the Redtails for the painted tails of their jets. ● Flew more than sorties ● Sixty-six Tuskegee Airmen died in combat. Slide Made by: Michael Calderwood

Opportunities for the African Americans ● 1,700 African Americans were in the first army of Omaha and Utah beaches on D-Day. ● The duties African Americans were assigned, though non-combat duties, were equally very important to the war, such as maintenance, transportation, and supply. ● Due to troop losses, African Americans were forced to be placed into more combat duties like pilots, tankers, medics, and others by ● Being in different kinds of ranks and positions now, they served with just as much honor as before being assigned so such ranks. Slide Made by: Bailee Fitz
