Recovered History: Black Soldiers Strike During WWII

Memory Hole contributor Susan Maret, Ph.D. stumbled across this bit of forgotten history while thumbing through Dwight MacDonald’s journal Politics. From the October 1944 issue, an article on black soldiers who went on strike. (Keep in mind, WWII was still ongoing at this point, making this action even more radical than it already was.)

“The Tucson Strike.” Politics, Oct 1944, p 285.
