54. Black GIs: When Jim Crow Came To Britain (Ep 1)
About this episode
What happened when 1.5 million American GIs, including 130,000 African Americans, were stationed in the UK during WWII? How did the Jim Crow segregation laws work in the American army? What was surprising about how the Brits reacted when America tried to export this segregation to the UK?
Sarah Churchwell and David Olusoga look at the forgotten story behind the ‘friendly invasion’ in WWII.
