Concept note-1: -During WWII, more than 2.5 million African American men registered for the draft, and African American women volunteered in large numbers. When combined with black women enlisted into Women’s Army Corps, more than one million African Americans served the Army during the War.
Concept note-2: -The government cited national security as justification for this policy although it violated many of the most essential constitutional rights of Japanese Americans.
Concept note-3: -Executive Order 9066, February 19, 1942 Issued by President Franklin Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, this order authorized the evacuation of all persons deemed a threat to national security from the West Coast to relocation centers further inland.
Concept note-4: -The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps all segregated African Americans into separate units because of the belief that they were not as capable as white service members. Adding to this indignity, the Army frequently assigned White officers from the American South to command Black infantrymen.
