The black service members having gained some respect and recognition in the war, their families finally saw some public sentiment against racial segregation. Segregation was ended for armed forces officers in 1942 and for the entire armed forces in 1948. This led to some of the first significant federal action on civil rights since Reconstruction. Resistance to integration remained high in rural areas and the South through the 1950's and 1960's. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_effect_did_World_War_2_have_on_African_Americans
