Which of the following was affected by Executive Order 8802? 1. the branches of the U.S. military with soldiers fighting abroad 2. a factory manufacturing ammunition for the U.S. military 3. military bases and training camps used by the U.S. military 4. rural farms and agricultural companies near U.S. military bases
Executive order 8802 "prohibited discrimination in defense jobs or government." http://www.pbs.org/fmc/timeline/eexec8802.htm In other words, it prevented employers of ammunition factories and such from discriminating against African Americans by not hiring them. So I would say the correct answer is B. [a factory manufacturing ammunition for the U.S. military].
Remember to say which one you believe is the correct answer next time, please :)
