Скачать или смотреть Segregated or Integrated? Black Soldiers in the Korean War

When the Korean War began in 1950, the U.S. Army was still mostly segregated—despite Truman’s Executive Order 9981 to desegregate the military.

In practice, resistance from commanders and bureaucracy kept most Black troops in separate units with limited combat roles. But battlefield necessity forced change. Heavy casualties pushed commanders to integrate units in Korea out of sheer need.

By 1951, the U.S. Army officially adopted integration on the battlefield. By 1953, the Korean War had become the first true test of racial integration under fire.

In our linked Short, we explore another transformation in the war: How helicopters reshaped combat and changed the way the U.S. fought.
