This EOTO team had talked about the good things of the African Americans. They showed their information on a PowerPoint that did slides on the jazz age. The jazz music times were popular with everyone.
They covered the NAACP who had fought for the rights of African Americans through the law system. Thurgood Marshall was involved in this before becoming supreme court justice on the Supreme Court. They had made their movement become very popular all over the United States.
The Harlem Renaissance had come into New York which caused a change in culture and the neighborhood of Harlem as well. They did it in art and literature, so it helped put them on the map in that way for their culture to become something to be part of. Their creativity has inspired many people today to do something different from everyone.
The U.S. military had started to let in African-Americans as soldiers to be with the white soldiers during that time. The official integration didn’t start until June 1941 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt had ordered it. Some of them got the highest honors for their bravery and courage during the times of war. It showed changes that were going in the way of African Americans which was finally happening for them. It was making some standard for them along the way to changing history at this time of segregation.
They had also brought about Jackie Robinson who changed the game of baseball by being the first colored player to player to play in a game. He led the way for African Americans to be able to play in Major League Baseball for the rest of the time.
