The role of the Korean War in the modern Civil Rights movement: an NEH Proposal

Picture
President Truman's Executive Order 9981 in 1948 integrating the military helped lay the groundwork for the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's. 

I interviewed authors, researched the major events of the war, and detailed how blacks living and fighting with whites changed the country.

No film documentary has ever been done on this subject.
