Vintage Original 1945 Black American Solders Stacking 100-Pound Bombs Photograph Print Clipping - U.S. Army Segregation - World War II Era - Ready For Framing

This 1945 Photograph Print Clipping Shows African American Soldiers Unloading 100-Pound Bombs From A Truck Onto A Barge For Disposal At Sea. During World War II, The United States Military Maintained Segregated Units, And African American Troops Were Often Assigned To Support And Labor Roles Rather Than Frontline Combat. These Units Carried Out Vital And Dangerous Work Such As Transporting And Handling Ammunition. The Image Reflects Both The Large-Scale Disposal Of Surplus Ordnance At The End Of The War And The Segregation Policies That Shaped The Experiences Of Black Soldiers Serving Their Country.
