nal Urban League's Lester Granger. Read in
conjunction with the National Archives' Forrestal Papers, this
interview is a major source for the Navy's immediate postwar policy
changes. Similarly, the Kennedy Library's oral history program
contains several interviews that are helpful in assessing the role of
the services in the Kennedy administration's civil rights program. Of
particular interest are the interviews with Harris Wofford, Roy
Wilkins, and Theodore Hesburgh.

The U.S. Marine Corps Oral History Program, whose interviews are on
file in Marine Corps headquarters, and the U.S. Navy Oral History
Collection, copies of which can be found in the Navy's Operational
Archives Branch, contain several interviews of special interest to
researchers in racial history. Mention should be made of the Marine
Corps interviews with Generals Ray A. Robinson and Alfred G. Noble and
the Navy's interviews with Captains Mildred McAfee Horton and Dorothy
Stratton, leaders of the World War II WAVES and SPARS.

Finally, included in the files of the Center of Military History is a
collection of notes taken by Lee Nichols, Martin Blumenson, and the
author during their interviews with leading figures in the integration
story. The Nichols notes, covering the series of interviews conducted
by that veteran reporter in 1953-54, include such items as summaries
of conversations with Harry S. Truman, Truman K. Gibson, Jr., and
Emmett J. Scott.

_Printed Materials_ (p. 631)

Many of the secondary materials found particularly helpful by the
author have been cited throughout the volume, but special attention
should be drawn to certain key works in several categories. In the
area of official works, Ulysses Lee's _The Employment of Negro Troops_
in the United States Army in World War II series (Washington:
Government Printing Office, 1966) remains the definitive account of
the Negro in the World War II Army. The Bureau of Naval Personnel's
"The Negro in the Navy," Bureau of Naval Personnel History of World
War II (mimeographed, 1946, of which there is a copy in the bureau's
Technical Library in Washington), is a rare item that has assumed even
greater significance with the loss of so much of the bureau's records.
