- Biography (note)
- "Utilization of Negro Manpower in the Army: A 1951 Study", also known as "Project Clear", was commissioned by the United States Army to gauge the use of Black personnel in the Army. This analysis pulled together a variety of sociological data including interviews with Black and white enlisted men and officers; reviews of World War II historical data; army studies, reports, and other publications; and reports about Black participation in the Korean War. Previous desegregation policies employed by the army; Black officers and enlisted men; integrated troops serving in Korea; and the changing social climate of the United States contributed to the formation of this report.
