I wonder if all states and counties practiced this. I will have to check. My great uncles/cousins were all in Kansas. Will have to take a look.

It still amazes me each time I think about the institutional racism that our country got away with. (And, in some ways, it still happens!)

I will look into some of my other ancestors' registration cards to see if this was a hit-or-miss thing or not.<br /><br />This nation has a lot of questions that need to be answered; especially in regards to military agenda.<br /><br />Peace & Blessings,<br />"Guided by the Ancestors"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039019633646767354.post-48096402241544157882011-05-03T22:17:57.841-04:002011-05-03T22:17:57.841-04:00Thanks, Greta, Tonia, and Kristin.

(I'm shaking my head as I type this - I'm always stunned at the racist practices sponsored by our government).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Renate!Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688040686852110671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039019633646767354.post-78745796164985525112011-05-02T19:25:25.129-04:002011-05-02T19:25:25.129-04:00Fascinating!

Another tidbit of information that I've learned is that for the first registration for WWI, everyman had to sign up on that one day, 5 Jun 1917. Don't know if it was the same for the later registration or not. I've read that at least for that first registration it was actually a big community celebration.<br /><br />I know I use to think that it was great that my grand uncles signed up together until I realized everyone signed up that day.Mavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241988882011440597noreply@blogger.com
