A USCG Veteran in Piscataway, NJ, looks back on desegregation in the United States Military...

From the Fifth District Public Affairs

Summing up the article...
Quote:
As for the Coast Guard itself, it remains the smallest of the U.S. military branches. But as history shows, it inaugurated one of the biggest changes in U.S. military history: racial equality. Not long after, the Navy followed suit, and progressive change was in place.
If you are a history buff, this will be particularly interesting. It's a well written report.
