What common experience did many women and African Americans have after world war 2
1 answer
Many women and African Americans experienced new opportunities for economic and social advancement after World War II. Women had entered the workforce in large numbers during the war, and many continued working outside the home after the war ended. African Americans, who had served in the military and contributed to the war effort, began to push for greater civil rights as they returned home and saw the stark contrast between their treatment in the military and in civilian life. Both groups faced discrimination and challenges, but they also found new opportunities for education, employment, and social progress in the post-war years.
