William Henry Hastie, perhaps best known as the first African American federaltrial judge, served the government in many capacities throughout his career. From1940 to 1943, Judge Hastie served as civilian aide to Secretary of War Henry L.Stimson, specifically tasked to address any issues arising with African Americans inthe military. African Americans in the Military, Part 1: Subject Files of Judge WilliamHastie, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of War chronicles Hastie’s duties and dailyinteractions with African Americans attempting to overcome the systematicdiscrimination present in the government. The majority of Hastie’s files containpersonal correspondence from young African American men and their familiesseeking the opportunity to serve the government and assist the war effort. With theassistance of Truman K. Gibson and James C. Evans, Judge Hastie sought toprovide young African American men with equal access to the military.

Organized alphabetically, this collection contains a rich record of the personalstruggles faced by African Americans. Beginning on the first reel, Hastie is calledupon to assist young men anxious to join the Army Air Corps. Most of the letterscontain narrative accounts of the application process the candidates endured. Inspite of advertised openings for African American pilots, navigators, and mechanics,most applicants were dismissed or informed that no African Americans would beallowed to fill the positions. Other letters contain allegations that physicalexaminations were biased or falsified to prevent the acceptance of African Americancandidates. Many of the applicants were informed of mysterious or previouslyundiagnosed maladies that prevented entrance into the Air Corps. The severity ofthis situation can be seen in a telegraph contained on Reel 3,

I am away from Home since March first have been trying to enlist in AirCorps or any branch of service other than Infantry. Am ColoredQualifications otherwise OK. Please advise if you can help or shall I giveup and return home.

Once a young man entered the service, his struggle was far from over. At thistime, the army remained fully segregated. The only exception was that white officerswere allowed, and in many cases expected, to command African American troops.As these men transitioned into military life, the discrimination changed with them.Some of this discrimination took the form of administrative and bureaucraticobstacles placed before the African American soldiers. Men were repeatedlytransferred across the country; they were assigned to bases where their trainingcould not be utilized, while educated and highly trained men were forced to serve asjanitors and servants. While some of the cases of transfers appear to be legitimate,the overwhelming message received by Hastie was that the armed forces wereteeming with racism.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

vi

Transferring personnel and underutilizing trained men, while clearly racist, areattempts to impede the progress of African American soldiers. Some members of themilitary, however, cared little about slowing the progress of the new soldiers andsought to end their aspirations completely. While cases and threats of murder areless prevalent than the standard racist reports, they appear from time to time inHastie’s files. A serious example occurs on Reel 9, Frame 0843, where Ethel K.Greene, a civilian from Washington, D.C., becomes concerned regarding therepeated threats from white soldiers. Mrs. Greene reports boisterous conversationsbetween these white soldiers explaining “what the Southern boys were planning to doto Negroes in the army, saying that Negroes could be shot down or killed withoutdetection.” Mrs. Greene’s letter seems to presage an event described on the nextreel. In a report on Camp Blanding, Florida, found on Reel 10, Frame 0843, JudgeHastie received information concerning a troubling court-martial that occurred at FortBenning, Georgia. The report details a shooting of a black soldier named Felix Hall.Private Hall was shot by a military police officer shortly after the discovery of anotherAfrican American soldier, bound and hanged from a tree close to the camp. Thecourt-martial contained conflicting evidence, but the final verdict acquitted the whitemilitary police officer based on a self-defense argument “despite the fact that all fivebullets took effect in Hall’s body with most of them having entered from the rear.”

Even though Hastie was tasked to represent African Americans in the military,the scope of his job expanded as the war effort grew. A large portion of Hastie’s filescontain letters and details of problems facing African Americans who wanted to jointhe civil service. Many of these applicants were African American women who hadscored well on the civil service exam but were denied a position after they revealedtheir race. The systematic discrimination is revealed through personal accounts ofthe barriers to employment and promotion placed before these African Americancandidates. This section also contains forwarded documents from the Committee onFair Employment Practices. The committee was created to ensure that “there shallbe no discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries orgovernment because of race, creed, color, or national origin.” In direct contradictionwith the Executive Order that created the committee, the letters contained in thissection are a testimony to the deeply engrained biases that would take generationsto overcome.

The final section of this collection illuminates how military law affected AfricanAmerican soldiers. Many of the letters in these folders are pleas for clemency andleniency from the families and friends of convicted soldiers. In many of the cases,after thorough investigation, Hastie’s office found that the trials were conductedproperly and that there was no available recourse. In some of the more seriouscases, however, Hastie found that basic procedural errors and deliberate neglect ofthe rights of the accused led to a biased or improper verdict. Hastie was only able toaffect the outcome of a few cases, normally slightly reducing the sentence orpreventing the application of the death penalty.

Hastie became disillusioned with his employer and his ability to change theracist policies of the federal government. After serving as civilian aide from 1941,Hastie resigned the position on January 15, 1943. Hastie’s resignation was a protestagainst the entrenched racism he discovered in the government and the military.
