Why did the US civil rights movement gain new momentum after World War II? President Truman desegregated the armed forces. Rosa Parks rallied blacks in Montgomery, Alabama. The booming economy had created a larger black middle class. Black World War II veterans refused to return to the States after fighting in Europe. Martin Luther King, Jr. founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Black World War II veterans refused to return to the States after fighting in Europe?
Numerous factors energized the civil rights movement after World War II. In July 1948, President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9980, barring racial discrimination in the civil service, and Executive Order 9981, mandating "equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed forces."
"equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed forces."
