Question

How did the “Double V Campaign” impact life for Native Americans after the war? What did they hope to gain?

Answer 1

The "Double V" campaign was organized by the Pittsburgh Courier encouraging African Americans to support the war; it meant victory over Hitler's racism and victory over racism at home symbol for American women; it was used to encourage women to work in the factories while the men were at war.

The campaign for equal rights for African Americans in the military and civilian defense workers dates back to the early 20th century. The Double V campaign was a slogan championed by The Pittsburgh Courier, then the largest black newspaper in the U.S., during the era of Jim Crow.
