What did African Americans want to achive in addition to a military victory in world war 2?

In addition to a military victory in World War II, African Americans aimed to achieve civil rights and social equality. They sought to combat racial discrimination and segregation, advocating for integration and better job opportunities both in the military and on the home front. The war galvanized the fight for justice, leading to campaigns such as the Double V Campaign, which symbolized victory against fascism abroad and racism at home. This desire for equality became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement in the post-war era.
