Military Racial Policy

 


"Formerly [the Negro soldier] countered acts of racial discrimination with hard work and endurance. Today he is more likely to make his resentment known. He needs a commander who recognizes such slogans as 'black is beautiful' as the expression of pride, comradeship and solidarity that it represents to most young Negroes. The commander must understand his men before he writes off the spirited ones, who may be potential leaders as troublemakers or militants." — Secretary of the Army Stanley R. Resor, 1969
