How did the wartime experiences of african americans contribute to the drive for greater civil rights after the war?

The help of African-American military personnel during World War II drove for greater civil rights after the war. A perfect example of this would be the Tuskegee Airmen. This group of African-American pilots performed thousands of successful missions during World War II. This showed that African-Americans contributed a significant amount to the war effort and were willing to risk their lives for their country. These accomplishments were used as proof that blacks deserve the same rights as whites in American society.
