The correct answer is C) Minority groups were still struggling to end discrimination.

Even though African-Americans like the Tuskegee Airmen served fearlessly for the US during World War II, this group was still treated poorly in the United States. At this time, the US still had segregated facilities for blacks and whites and a school system that favored whites over blacks. These factors all contributed to the creation of the Double V Campaign. This campaign was focused on achieving victory in Europe and victory over racism in the United States.
