Opportunity and Adjustment

• After the war, the U.S. emerged as the world’s dominant economic and military power.

• Many women enjoyed having a job during WWII, however many of them lost it after the war

• In addition to having a job, during WWII many women showed their power and their equality to men by having certain jobs that were traditionally held by men (e.g. journalism)

• Between the years of 1940-1950, there was a dramatic population shift– Many families that once lived in the south now

were moving out to the West Coast, Mountains, Midwest, Middle Atlantic, and New England area……but why?

Social Adjustments

• During the time of war, there were many single mothers.

• After the war many people rushed to get married and the baby boom began. Those babies are currently in their 60’s.

• In 1944, Congress passed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act (a.k.a G.I. Bill of Rights)– This bill provided education and training for war

veterans (the government paid for colleges and technical schools)

– About 7.8 million veterans attended education and training under this bill

Discrimination and Reaction• Although new doors were opening for

everyone, racism and prejudice continued during this time era

• African Americans were the group that faced prejudice the most– As a result of that, James Farmer created a

interracial org. named the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) to combat such discriminations happening against the minorities

Tension in Los Angeles

• Many Mexican Americans also experienced prejudice during and after WWII.

• In the summer of 1943, The Zoot-Suit Riots erupted.

• The riot occurred when 11 sailors claimed that they were attacked by zoot-suit wearing Mexican Americans.

• Many Mexican-Americans believed that their sacrifices during the war would lead them to a better future.

Internment of Japanese Americans

• After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, many Americans believed the rumors that Japanese Americans would do harmful things to the U.S.

• In 1942, the War Department called a total evacuation of all Japanese Americans.– They were then put into Japanese internment

camps.– FDR believed it was a step necessary for

national security. (sound familiar?)

• These camps were located in many parts of the US: California (Tule Lake, Manzanar), Idaho (Minidoka), Utah (Topaz), Arizona (Poston, Gila River), Colorado (Granada), Wyoming (Heart Mountain), and Arkansas (Rohwer and Jerome) – (a.k.a. relocation centers)

• Many Japanese felt that this was a direct violation of their rights.– Famous court case: Korematsu v. U.S. (argued on

the idea that no person shall….be deprived life, liberty, or property, without due process of law – 5th Amendment) however it was okay because of “military necessity.”

– This was definitely a direct violation of that and after the war a group called the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) helpeed to get compensation and lost property.

• After a long battle, in 1988 Ronald Reagan signed a bill that promised $20,000 to every Japanese American that was sent to a relocation camp

• In 1990, when the checks were sent out, President George Bush Sr. wrote a letter of apology about the situation.
