Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Tuskegee Airmen as an Air Force unit of black men segregated and discriminated against but allowed to fly in combat towards the end of the war.
2. Note that their experience was unique in that they were officers who flew airplanes as an elite form of service while blacks in the Navy were cooks and blacks in the Army were frequently denied combat roles.
3. Conclude that the Tuskegee Airmen scored impressive victories in combat while support staff became experts in a variety of airplanes flown by the pilots.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that the impact of warfare upon black men in U.S. history is a transformative experience in the sense that fighting for freedom and democracy for the nation is compared to the lack of freedom and democracy at home for black people.
2. Note that during World War II, African American men became officers, fought and died to destroy fascism in Europe, and came back home determined to halt racial oppression of their families and themselves. Black men were literally transformed into civil rights leaders during the war.
3. Conclude that the war experience gave black men a broader perception of the world and a budding international consciousness.
