American Heroes

Tuskegee Airmen 1st African American unit in the Air Force: 99th Pursuit Squadron Very successful Flew in over 200 missions, did not lose a single bomber to enemy aircraft

2nd Great Migration The 1st Great Migration slowed with the G.D. Once WWII began, jobs opened up for African Americans Often caused violence

African Americans Demand Work Factories were hiring women, not African Americans A. Phillip Randolph organized a March on Washington, to protest Tells FDR FDR issues executive order to end discrimination of employment in defense industries

Braceros Program Labor shortage in Southwest Gov. issues Bracero Program in 1942, brings over 200,000 Mexicans to US to help harvest fruits and vegetables

Zoot Suit Riots Many young Mexican Americans wore zoot suits, considered unpatriotic After hearing these Mex. Am. attacked sailors, soldiers and sailors attacked Mex. Am. Neighborhoods throughout LA Police did not intervene, just banned zoot suit days later

Hey Pachuco! Summer '43 the man's gunnin' for me Blue and white mean war tonight They say damn my pride and all The other cats livin' down eastside Or maybe just my brim's too wide Oooh Marie you better grab my jack And zip gun for me And I'll face no shame 'Cause tonight's the night I die for our name Well when we hit downtown We start to throw down We end up doing time Soon as they've met us They're out to get us So I stick with that gang of mine By: Royal Crown Revue

Zoot Suit Riots June 16, 1943, Eleanor Roosevelt characterized the rioting thus, “The question goes deeper than just suits. It is a racial protest. I have been worried for a long time about the Mexican racial situation. It is a problem with roots going a long way back, and we do not always face these problems as we should.” Her remarks led to an outraged response by the Los Angeles Times and it printed and editorial accusing Mrs. Roosevelt of stirring “race discord.”
