- Tuskegee Airmenanalytical essayWhen the US entered World War II, the idea was foreign that black troops had the skill or courage to fight alongside white soldiers in war. "Compared to the white man, [a black man] is admittedly of inferior mentality. He is inherently weak in character." claimed one War Department report. Consequently, the armed forces were heavily segregated. African-Americans were often given the most menial jobs, and were barred from enlisting in certain branches of the military like the Marines or the Air Corps. Still, one million, two hundred thousand African-Americans fought in the Second World War (Jim Crow 1). And in doing so, they proved once and for all that black Americans deserved a chance to fight for their country. Among these soldiers were the Tuskegee Airmen, the first ever black fighter pilots. They out-performed other, white, escort squadrons, and achieved fame and glory with their impressive flying. But more than that, they destroyed forever the assumption that African-Americans didn't have the skills necessary to fight in war. The Tuskegee Airmen faced racism and endured rigorous training, but flew excellently in World War II, aiding in the eventual integration of all armed forces.
