Jake Britt, Aaron Sowers, Sean Brinsfield, Shannon Daniels __**1948 President Truman issues Executive Order 9808 outlawing segregation in the U.S. military**__

Originally President Truman was a little racist. Though he got over it because he knew that if he was to be a proper president and lead the U.S. on the correct path he had to overcome it. He issued the Executive Order 9808 outlawing segregation in the U.S. military because it was unfair and went against the original ideas of the Founding Fathers. May 1948 President Truman’s staff advised him to make a committee overseeing the integration of the segregation of the U.S. army. Then in July of the same year the army staff wanted it so the Executive Order 9981 doesn’t detail the forbidding of segregation in the Army. So they anonymously stated this to President Truman. Then in October 9, in the closing months of Wor ld War II the Navy announced the expanding of the policy of integration. Know without the segregation in the army it expanded to the whole entire U.S. Military. With this our Military has been able to evolve and become greater than it eve r has with more team work and equality this spread back into the country. Making this country more of what our Founding Fathers wanted it to be.
