History

STatiana [176]3 years ago

The purpose of the "Double V" campaign was to fight racism at home and abroad.

Further Explanation:

The "Double V" campaign was prevalent within American society during World War II. The goal of this campaign was to gain victory over racism at home (aka the United States) and abroad (in the European and Pacific Theaters).

This campaign was fueled by African American citizens within the US. The reason why African Americans were fighting for victory at home was due to the Jim Crow laws. Throughout the United States, Jim Crow laws existed. These laws resulted in segregated public facilities such as schools, parks, businesses, etc.

Even though these African American citizens were treated unfairly at home, many of them fought overseas in World War II, helping the United States defeat Germany and Japan. This also fueled the campaign, as African Americans felt it was unfair that they were liberating citizens in Europe from poor treatment when many of these African American men faced discrimination and violence in the US because of their skin color. This "Double V" campaign would be a stepping stone for the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.

The correct option is (A). The purpose of the “Double V” campaign was <u>to fight the Nazis and the Japanese. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

The “Double V Campaign” was an initiative taken by African Americans. The campaign was led by the “Pittsburgh Courier” newspaper that meant to achieve a “double victory” during World War II. There were two main objectives of the campaign which are as follows:

1. Victory in the “war board”.

2. Victory against discrimination.

The campaign wanted victory in both the United States and overseas. In abroad, ‘victory’ was to be achieved by favoring the war effort, especially through buying war stamps and bonds, conserving waste material and contributing to ‘blood banks’. At home, victory will be achieved by ‘combating racial discrimination’, with an emphasis on fighting the “poll tax” and political disfranchisement, working for “equal opportunity” in the defense industry and seeking ‘equality’ in education.
