Black servicemen and their dates at a dance, Seattle, circa 1944
Order an ImageThe US military was racially segregated throughout World War II and most home front services were also segregated. In Seattle, recreational events for Black servicemen and women, usually hosted by the U.S.O. or the Seattle Civilian War Commission, were often held separately from those for whites.
In this photo, a large group of Black servicemen in uniform and their dates appear to be watching a performance onstage during a dance held at a large hall in the Seattle area.
