Question 5 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2
Executive Order 9981, issued by President Harry Truman in 1948, established equal treatment and opportunity in the armed forces without regard to race. It therefore called for an end to segregation in the military. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 8802 prohibited discrimination in defense industries but did not establish military segregation, so Truman’s order did not reverse it.
