Show NORTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS Page 13 Celebrations Forces are desegregated Editor's note: This is the third in a series on Allan Jackson. On July 26, 1947, Pres. Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 1981, which desegregated the U.S. Armed Forces. Thus all through World War 11, African-Americans were consistent "senurated" from Caucasians. Ironically, though Jackson experienced segregation while growing up in Alabama, he also enjoyed some free mixing of races. (Note: One of the limitations of oral histories is the faultiness of the human memory. So this is but one person's memory of the facts of the Camp Kearns race riots.)

During that time, there wasn't no such thing as "white people" Jews, gentiles, Indians, Puerto Ricans and Negroes were all together in Montgomery. Of course me and my brother went to separate schools, and when we went to the theater, all the colored people had to go up in the balcony. But me and my brother, being raised by a Jewish family, the Strausses, wherever they went, we went, and nobody said nothin'. I guess you'd say that Montgomery was "semi-diversity." "semi-diversity." When I came to Fort Douglas Doug-las in Salt Lake City in 1937, and then went downtown, there was prejudice. One Sunday Sun-day when I came to town, I didn't know where to go. A Puerto Rican guy walked up to me and said, "Hey, Pard-ner, Pard-ner, whatcha doing? Whatcha lookin' for?' I said, "Some place to eat." He said, "Follow me." We come to the west side of town, where everything was like a sisterhood and a brotherhood black, white, Greeks, Japanese. Everything was mixed over there. There was diversity. You could go anyplace you wanted. So I just liked the west side. There was a few coloreds in Salt Lake at the time, mostly with the railroad. In '42, 1 come back to Salt Lake City, and Camp Kearns was segregated. There were white barracks and black barracks, white PX's, white cafeterias white everything. Us Blacks were the cooks and truck drivers. There was about a hundred of us on the base. I was just there a few weeks. Then in 1944, 1 come back to Kearns, and that's when Kearns opened up a bit. There was a race riot there right after I got back. There re Portuguese WAC's, so one their papers they could go for black or white. But some of them were as black as I was. Because I was an MP, I got a chance to look at their papers in headquarters. So the base put them all down as white, and they didn't want nothin' to do with the black soldiers. There was about a thousand black soldiers on the base. I was an MP in town, and once when I came back to the base, the Black boys told me, "We're going to have a riot out here one of these days. What about these WAC's, Sergeants?" Ser-geants?" They'd been told to stay by themselves, but they didn't. I said to them, "I'll tell you what. No guns. Pile up some bricks in front of the mess halL and when they start to come, bombard'em with bricks." Our barracks was right next to our PX. So when the whites came down to our PX, we bombarded them with bricks. A few white soldiers got bruised up a bit. The only colored general at the time, Benjamin O. Davis, flew into Salt Lake Airport 2, and that was when Camp Kearns got desegregated. The general closed the camp down, and lots of the soldiers were put in the stockade, black and white soldiers. We didn't mind being segregated; seg-regated; it didn't make any difficulty in town. We was all brothers, though we couldn't go to a white USO in town, but the whites could sleep in our USO. But we went to the different dif-ferent clubs together. The last time I got married, we couldn't get married in Salt Lake, because the city was segregated. So we went to Elko and got married, and then come back here. www.heraldextra.comyellowpages Disc Herniation?
