True.
The U.S. military was racially segregated during much of its history. African American soldiers were often assigned to separate units with white officers and they faced discrimination and unequal treatment. It was only after President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 in 1948 that the armed forces began the process of desegregation.
