When the Second World War started, it led to the increased demands of the wartime goods which helped to revive the economy of the United States. In fact, the United States implemented many rules so that the citizens of America consume less of these products so that wartime demands could be met. In this, African American too wanted to contribute and they did and in return they expected their share in the coming prosperity by finding employment in the defense industries in the similar manner like in the First World War.
