DURING WORLD WAR II Grenier Field in Manchester was a busy stopover facility for military aircraft bound for Europe, and it provided training for an estimated 50,000 airmen. During the course of the war the population of the base reached up to 6,000 servicemen. Many of the support functions at the base were carried out by African Americans. The first group of Black servicemen came to Grenier Field in December 1941, and in 1942 and afterward hundreds more arrived. The Army was segregated, so these men were billeted in an area that was separate from the barracks for the White soldiers. As Manchester’s Black population had been nearly nonexistent before the war, the sudden presence of Black soldiers in the city caused discomfort for some local citizens. This was not an era where there was an easy mixing of races in any part of the country—so, even in the northeast, racial prejudice was a reality.
