Today I’ll tell you about how violence got worse, during this time when white soldiers came home from World War 2 they were treated well, but if you were an African American solder you would be treated even worse than before. There were so many cases about the violence against black soldiers. One of these many cases took place when there was were a black soldier who was sitting on the bus minding his own business when a white man hit him on the back of his head so hard his eyeballs popped out. But what worried me even more was that my brother was drafted in to the war. He was very disgusted that if you were an African American vet you could not vote and he was so confused about how that in other country’s skin color didn’t matter and that there were even mixed couples.  So he decided to move his family to Detroit. A little after that I started working with younger colored people to get them better rights and more freedom than what the older generation had experienced and we tried to get them better things to work with and give them a better life in the future.  I am happy to see now that all of our work was not for nothing and that now there is less hate in this world.
