Photograph album of Seventh Army NCO Academy Early Army Integration by Hanns-Joachim Starczewski
1953
Scope and Contents
This album documents the early integration efforts of the US Army at the Seventh Army Non-Commissioned Officer Academy in
Munich, Germany, in 1953. Officially, the armed forces were integrated by executive order in 1948, but the US Army was slow
to adapt to desegregation and often Black soldiers were relegated to low-ranking menial jobs rather than leadership positions.
The outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, however, amplified the need for recruits and officers alike. The US Army agreed to
integration across the entire service, but the last segregated army units were not dissolved until 1954. The Black soldiers
in this album were chosen for officer training based on their leadership qualities and professionalism.
