The Korean War, often called America's "Forgotten War," ushered in a new era of American military policy as it was the first war fought under President Truman's Executive Order 9981, which initiated integration of the US military. A focus on Truman's order, though, obscures the significant role African Americans had in desegregating the military. This thesis seeks to highlight the impactful role that the African American media played in dismantling the discriminatory racial policies that African American soldiers were subjected to in the military. In this thesis, I will examine the African American perspective of the Korean War through the lens both of the African American media and of the war waged through words that shaped the overall African American enlistment and transformation of US military policy. The campaigns of A. Phillip Randolph and Thurgood Marshall to improve military conditions will be highlighted, and using popular magazines, such as Jet and Ebony, Black newspapers, films, and television series, this thesis will reveal the social climate of the African American community during the Korean War in regards to the treatment of African American soldiers. The contributions of the African American soldier in the Korean War have largely been removed from popular culture; this thesis attempts to center the Black soldier and Black community in the history of desegregating the military.
