Question

Which of these was accomplished during Truman's presidency? A) the Ku Klux Klan was banned B) the atomic bomb was invented C) nuclear disarmament was begun D) desegregation of the armed forces

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.  Executive order 9981 was executed on July 26, 1948, by President Harry S. Truman

Answer 2

The Truman's presidency achieved the desegregation of the armed forces with the executive order 9981 since it abolished discrimination "on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin". Before that, the armed forces had many different treatments for non-whites. For example, blacks worked under different rules that usually delayed their entry in combat.

D) desegregation of the armed forces
