The Modern Navy After World War II, African-Americans began to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. Nevertheless, by the 1960s and 1970s, the broader issues of civil rights were reflected in racial tension among the navy's ranks. Since then, the navy has made efforts to confront issues concerning race. In the twenty-first century, African-Americans serve in every capacity in the United States Navy. From admirals to astronauts, all fields and specialties are opened to young African-American men and women. Future African-American leaders in the naval services are training at Hampton University, Norfolk State University, and the United States Naval Academy. These young men and women will earn commissions in the United States Navy or United States Marine Corps upon graduating. |
