I found this on Yahoo!.  Things have come a long way in race relations in the
USA during Brubeck's lifetime.

>
He graduated in 1942 and was drafted by the Army, where he served b mostly
as a musician b under Gen. George S. Patton in Europe. At the time, his
Wolfpack Band was the only racially integrated unit in the military.

In an interview for Ken Burns' PBS miniseries "Jazz," Brubeck talked about
playing for troops with his integrated band, only to return to the U.S. to see
his black bandmates refused service in a restaurant in Texas.
