Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though many African Americans fought in the war, the military wasn´t desegregated until July 26, 1948, when President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981, creating the President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services in which the order mandated the desegregation of the U.S. military.
