Answer:

B. The Fair Employment Practice Committee was created and the planned protest march was postponed

Step-by-step explanation:

The Executive Order 8802, which was issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 25, 1941 is largely considered as an important step towards ending racial discrimination in the American defense sector. The Fair Employment Practice Committee was also created to implement the order. It banned the discrimination in federal government employment practices. Since it was just before the start of World War II , the training for war was conducted without racial discrimination.
