One document issued by the American Red Cross, dated January 21, 1942. The document is entitled "Statement of Policy Regarding Negro Blood Donors." Outlines a new policy that facilities are now "prepared here-after to accept blood donations from colored as well as white persons." The blood will be "processed separately so that those receiving transfusions may be given plasma from blood of their own race." The policy was issued by the Chairman of the American Red Cross and the Surgeons General of the Army and the Navy and approved by the Secretaries of War and the Navy.
