The Fair Employment Practice Committee (FEPC) was responsible for preventing job discrimination in US defense industries, which primarily affected African American workers (D).

The FEPC was created in 1941 following the United States' entry into World War II, in order to implement President Franklin D. Roosevelt's desire to ban "discriminatory employment practices by Federal agencies and all unions and companies engaged in war-related work."

In theory, it targeted various minorities and was meant to help them get jobs (especially higher-skilled jobs) to participate in the war effort. In practice though, African Americans in particular benefited from the FEPC. Prior to the creation of the Committee, they often were stuck with low-skilled jobs that paid very little.

It is believed that the FEPC played a large role in the important economic improvements black men experienced during the fourties.

One purpose of government is to?
kupik [55]
<span>The correct answer is C. Protect citizen rights.
Governments should not inhibit any civil rights that are usually outlined in the constitution of the government’s country. It is the government’s duty to provide things like laws and supreme courts and constitution amendments in order to ensure that all citizens have equal rights regardless of their gender, race, religious beliefs, or anything similar. Usually, governments that try to oppress their people experience a coup or anything similar and it ends in a not very pleasurable manner. </span>
