How did African Americans challenge racial discrimination in the years

How did African Americans challenge racial discrimination in the years immediately following World War II?

What will be an ideal response?

 

ANSWER
The ideal answer should include:
1. Once the war was over, African Americans were laid off from factory jobs in favor of returning white veterans.
2. Blacks were expected by others to retreat into deference.
3. Black veterans spearheaded the resistance to such expectations.
4. African American efforts to overcome discrimination met fierce, often violent, white opposition in 1946 and 1947.
5. The retreat of European colonialism and American competition with the Soviet Union nonetheless encouraged many white Americans to acknowledge racial discrimination.
6. A series of Supreme Court decisions chipped away at segregation and discrimination.
7. Popular culture moved in the same direction of breaking down racial barriers.
