Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC) was appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to enforce his Executive Order 8802, which banned racial discrimination by any employer with a government contract. The commission was established during World War II to ensure that defense industries and federal agencies provided equal opportunities for African Americans and other minorities. The commission's goal was to end racial discrimination in the workplace and promote equal employment opportunities. It was not established to address women's pay or prevent monopolistic practices in the armament industry. Additionally, the idea that the Nazis used the existence of the FEPC in anti-American propaganda is a historical fact.
