This chapter provides an analysis of the shifting political landscape of Black Americans in the context of World War II through the lens of Black media and other popular cultural forms. The socio political meaning of the anthem in this context diverges, and for the first time it is significantly engaged by the mainstream of American politics and media as well.

Keywords:   World War II, March on Washington Movement, The Star Spangled Banner, W.E.B. DuBois, Charles White, Addie Hunton, African American radio
