“There was probably controversy, maybe even within families, but where you found ‘traditional families,’ people went. They went to the Army, Navy, wherever you were drafted. I mean, it wasn’t as if people protested. I don’t know anyone in the Black community who did not serve if they were called to serve. I don’t know anyone who went to Canada or went to Europe or went somewhere and did not serve.”
