Complications of integration between colored and white people in the workplace exposed how the Double V Campaign, signifying a victory abroad will also be a victory at home, did not diminish the constant internal and external conflicts African Americans dealt…

The residents of the Elms arrive to their previously chosen thrones, where they sit three times a day, seven days a week, fifty two weeks a year.…
