USO – FOR THE TROOPS | A Home for African American Troops | PBS

Despite pervasive racism in the American South during WWII, the USO adhered to its policy to provide a home away from home for all soldiers. In Hattiesburg, Mississippi, black soldiers at Camp Shelby could find a safe place to relax, socialize and let their guard down at the East 6th Street USO. #USOpbs premieres Monday, 11/7 at 9/8c.
