Answer 9

I think it may be A. I thought it was B, until I read:

"In 1941 he led a 10,000-person march on Washington to demonstrate against unfair working conditions and discrimination in the defense industries. Randolph's leadership was critical to the end of segregation in the armed forces."

Answer 10

"After World War II, Randolph founded the League for Nonviolent Civil Disobedience Against Military Segregation, resulting in the issue by President Harry S. Truman on July 26, 1948, of Executive Order 9981, banning segregation in the armed forces."
