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.
