I think that is true,in many cases.  Note that I mentioned the very same thing in my previous post.
My black friend said that he never saw discrimination (and he was from Selma)

I've spent more than my fair share of time at Ft Pickett as well. QUOTE by 3fan4life

Small world, isn't it?  When I was there it was called Camp Pickett and Blackstone was called Tombstone as it was 'dead' except for tattoo parlors.

Absolutely true, the Army was where I learned about all races and ethnic groups from all over the US.
Good times and some bad, except in Korea, there it was all good. The closeness to a combat zone made us get along, blacks and whites.

I don't remember when they stopped calling it Camp Pickett and started calling it Ft. Pickett.

Blackstone is still very small.

The history of Pickett is interesing:
