In his October 1942 article, A Challenge to Citizens Second Class, Berry makes clear his thoughts on the federal government\u2019s exclusionist policies and its delusive attempts at racial integration. \u201cIn recognition of their second class status, during the past ten years, the Federal Government has employed special agents know variously as racial relations advisors and specialists. These positions are in substitute for positions of merit and responsibility in the general affairs of government heretofore occupied by Negroes prior to World War I and the Wilson Administration.

Three men were accused of having shoved a white Lieutenant and were arrested along with 101 other African American officers who refused to sign a document acknowledging their acceptance of Base Regulation 85-2, an order which would officially prohibit African American officers from the club. The 101 were eventually released with administrative reprimands. Two of the men accused of shoving, Second Lieutenants Marsden A. Thompson and Shirley R. Clinton were acquitted during the 1945 trial and the third, Lieutenant Roger Terry was pardoned in 1995.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-2.jpg\" alt=\"Timeline\" data-id=\"224\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/berry-1945-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-2.jpg 225w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-2-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">A poster featuring a Tuskegee Airman (<a href=\"http:\/\/arcweb.archives.gov\/arc\/action\/ShowFullRecordLinked?$searchId=2&amp;$resultsDetailPageModel.search=true&amp;$showFullDescriptionTabs.selectedPaneId=digital&amp;$digiDetailPageModel.resultPageModel=true&amp;$resultsDetailPageModel.currentPage=0&amp;$digiDeta\">digitization<\/a> courtesy of US NARA, ARC ID 514823);<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-3.jpg\" alt=\"Timeline\" data-id=\"225\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/berry-1945-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-3.jpg 225w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-3-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Lieutenant Roger Terry in uniform (<a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/maggarsm\/Documents\/maggarsm\/Website\/ARB%20Website\/ARB%20Website\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File_Lt_Roger_C_Terry.html\">photo<\/a> from the personal collection of Roger Terry)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-1.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white photo of Tuskeegee airmen\" data-id=\"223\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/berry-1945-1\/\" class=\"wp-image-223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/exhibits\/berry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/Berry-1945-1-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">The 101 officers from the 477th Bombardment Group who refused to sign (<a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.loc.gov\/loc.pnp\/cph.3c34792\">photo<\/a> courtesy of the Library of Congress PPOC)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1946-1965<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Berry serves on the National Board of Directors of the NAACP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1947<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Berry debuts on the local political scene as an independent under the slogan \u201cA People\u2019s Candidate,\u201d when he runs for Cincinnati City Council.
