Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the threat brought increased attention to race relations and compelled Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802 which prohibited, “discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries and in Government because of race, creed, color, or national origin.” Black Americans served admirably in the war.
