 Within the military racial conflict did exist as white soldiers refused to recognise the higher ranking black officers.The discrimination African Americans experienced within the military in Hawaii fueled their fight to see the "Double V" campaign succeed.However their experience of life within a community that didn't have such established racial ideas demonstrates what a double victory could achieve.The African American community had to create their own newspapers to spread information about their community and heritage as white newspapers wouldn't include black issues, and these newspapers and their influence increased during the war as they had to relay information about the war to their readers.
