Divide students into different interest groups and ask them to develop a policy proposal to respond to the demands of the Black community during the Double Victory campaign. Assign representatives for the following interest groups:

• NAACP
• Tuskegee Airmen
• President Roosevelt’s Administration
• A. Philip Randolph
• Labor unions
• Black women
• U.S. Military

Students should spend the first 45 minutes researching their group’s position on structural racism and the Double Victory campaign. Proposals should contain the following elements:

• Description of interest group
• Interest group’s goals and position on race and the military
• 3 policy suggestions to bring to the conference

In the second half of the activity, place students around a conference table and instruct them to negotiate a plan that works for all stakeholders. They should come up with a written policy to which all interest groups agree.
