The Double V: How Wars, Protest, and Harry Truman Desegregated America's Military | 
pickThis book was an eye-opening look at the segregation in the US military mostly during #WW2 and through to Truman's executive order in 1948 ordering formal desegregation. Did you know the Red Cross segregated blood donation and even turned away Black donors in the middle of the war? Fascinating stuff. (Minnie insisted on being in the snap!) #CivilRights #USHistory #WWII #catsoflitsy #littenkitten
