Given the horrible incidents on the other side of the pond and the protests / rioting around the world because of that incident, I thought a little vignette of UK life in WW2 would be interesting.
Coloured US troops supposedly fought segregation in a small Lancashire town.
The pubs in the town came down on the side of the coloured soldiers.
I wonder if it had something to do with the ratio of coloured to non-coloured soldiers in the area - canny lot those Lancastrians! :-)
