African Americans

Step-by-step explanation:

African Americans were the people left out of the postwar boom

  • African Americans and women were entitled to the same benefits as white men under the GI Bill, but often faced difficulty trying to claim their benefits due to discrimination
  • Those who did manage to get benefits were often steered towards training for menial jobs
  • The frustration of African American veterans barred from participating in the postwar economic boom became a major motivating factor in the Civil Rights Movement
