WWII demanded social change in America. What particular strategic military change helped usher in the Civil Rights Movement?

WWII saw the desegregation of U.S. military forces. Where, previously, the law had required total segregation, during the Battle of the Bulge, President Eisenhower allowed African American soldiers to fight in former all-white units. After the war, in 1948, the armed forces were officially desegregated by an executive order issued by President Truman.
