In 1940, the United States began to rearm for the Second World War. Urgent appeals for recruits was issued by each branch of the Armed Forces. Every citizen was urged to participate in defense of his country. Every citizen, that is, except the Negro citizen. The Negro was excluded from the Armed Forces. Why, when our country was eager for patriots, was the Negro denied the right of defending his native land?"
