Quizplus · Accepted Answer

World War II was a pivotal moment for civil rights movements in the United States. The war effort and the demand for soldiers led to the integration of the military and war industries. African Americans and other minorities served in the armed forces and worked in war production, which highlighted the contradictions between fighting for freedom abroad while being denied civil rights at home. This contradiction accelerated efforts to combat segregation and discrimination in the U.S. during and after the war.
