There have been numerous stories written about Henry Johnson over the years. Many right after he came back from war and stories are still being written today. He was one of the first African American men to serve in the Harlem Hellfighters, this was a segregated part of the Army. He served under French command. He was and is considered to be a hero.
This man almost single-handily fought off 20 men from a German unit to save his unit and prevented his comrade from being taken hostage. He has been injured but this did not stop him from fighting for him comrades and saving everyone. This incident was later called "The Battle of Henry Johnson."
Now for the injustices, one could say it was when he came home from the war. He was given a parade but suffered from a racist community. He was met by the governor and mayor upon coming off the train. The president at the time wrote him and he had a party in his honor at the state armory. Many articles were written about him. However, then the problems started happening.
He spoke out against racism, and this turned more people against him. He gave a speech in 1919 in Missouri and instead of reading his speech he decided to tell about the racism he endured by his white comrades in the war. People who stood by him left the stage and everyone turned their backs on him after this speech. The injustice was that he fought in the war and was a hero but after speaking out on racism he was left to fend for himself. He couldn't even find work as a porter since he suffered from injuries from war.
Another injustice about his story is that he would not receive the Medal of Honor until another century after his death. President Obama did award the medal to him posthumously.

<em>D. Several political groups protested against apartheid.</em>
Explanation:
Apartheid was a segregation system in South Africa that prohibited from blacks and whites to do numerous things away from one another. This started in 1948, and many people did not agree with this as it affected their everyday lives. Blacks were not allowed to live in white neighborhoods or even interact with white people. One of the first things that happened as a way to abolish apartheid was the numerous political groups that would protest to get rid of apartheid.
The war caused disruptions at home. Americans faced shortages that required them to deal with the hassle of rationing. They had to provide the necessary coupons—issued by the Office of Price Administration—to be able to purchase items in short supply like sugar, or meat, or gasoline.
