Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The service of African American soldiers in World War I led to an increase in activism by blacks for their rights. Many African American soldiers returned home from the war hoping to continue fighting for equality and civil rights. This led to a new wave of activism, including the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the growth of the Harlem Renaissance. However, while the service of African American soldiers had some impact on public attitudes on race, it did not significantly alter these attitudes or lead to a general improvement in race relations. The federal government did not integrate the armed forces until after World War II, and there were significant challenges for northern black factory workers in keeping their jobs when white veterans returned.
