Just One Navy

"There is no black Navy, no white Navy--just one Navy--the United States Navy." "Z"-gram #66

"For years, white men from the South in large measure ran the Navy while it lagged behind the other services, and the country, in its racial attitudes and policies. . . . When I became CNO there had yet to be a black admiral in the entire history of the Navy."

Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, Chief of Naval Operations
