During World War II, many African Americans

A. found work with national defense employers.
B. carried out a large protest march on Washington, DC
C. served in military units that were not segregated.
D. joined organizations dedicated to fighting segregation.

Answer 1

D. joined organizations dedicated to fighting segregation.

Step-by-step explanation:

During World War II, many African American citizens enlisted to fight in the war. However, despite their efforts and bravery, they were still treated like second-class citizens. Their quotas were lower, and when they did manage to enlist, they were segregated from others and for the most part appreciated less. This led to a rise in African Americans who joined organizations dedicated to fighting segregation and achieving equality both within the troops and in society at large.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. joined organizations dedicated to fighting segregation.

This is how the early civil rights movement began before everything that happened in the 60s. They didn't like the fact that African-Americans were fighting in the war and protecting western civilization while still not getting fundamental rights by those same people that they were protecting.
