An Entity of Type: Order107168623, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Executive Order 8802 was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 25, 1941, to prohibit ethnic or racial discrimination in the nation's defense industry. It also set up the Fair Employment Practice Committee. It was the first federal action, though not a law, to promote equal opportunity and prohibit employment discrimination in the United States. Many citizens of Italian or German ethnicity were affected by World War II and this was impeding the war effort and lowering morale. This ethnic factor was a major motivation for Roosevelt. The President's statement that accompanied the Order cited the war effort, saying that "the democratic way of life within the nation can be defended successfully only with the help and support of all groups," and cited reports of discrimination:

Inhalt des Präsidialerlasses war ein Verbot jeglicher Rassendiskriminierung in allen Behörden der Bundesregierung und in allen Unternehmen, die kriegswichtige Aufträge von dieser erhielten. Zur Durchsetzung dieses Erlasses legte Roosevelt die Grundlage zur Schaffung einer Behörde namens Fair Employment Practices Commission, der sich der Senat bis zur Aufgabe des Projekts mehrmals in den Weg stellte.

  • Executive Order 8802 was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 25, 1941, to prohibit ethnic or racial discrimination in the nation's defense industry. It also set up the Fair Employment Practice Committee. It was the first federal action, though not a law, to promote equal opportunity and prohibit employment discrimination in the United States. Many citizens of Italian or German ethnicity were affected by World War II and this was impeding the war effort and lowering morale. This ethnic factor was a major motivation for Roosevelt. The President's statement that accompanied the Order cited the war effort, saying that "the democratic way of life within the nation can be defended successfully only with the help and support of all groups," and cited reports of discrimination: There is evidence available that needed workers have been barred from industries engaged in defense production solely because of considerations of race, creed, color or national origin, to the detriment of workers' morale and of national unity. The executive order had also been demanded by civil rights activists A. Philip Randolph, Walter White, and others involved in the March on Washington Movement who had planned a march on Washington, D.C. on July 1, 1941 to protest racial discrimination in industry and the military. With the march date approaching, President Roosevelt enlisted New Dealer Aubrey Williams and labor expert Anna M. Rosenberg to work with Randolph and White to create an Executive Order that would satisfy both sides. A series of meetings in New York and Washington with Williams, Rosenberg, New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Randolph and White resulted in the draft order. The March on Washington was suspended after Executive Order 8802 was issued on June 25, 1941. The order required federal agencies and departments involved with defense production to ensure that vocational and training programs were administered without discrimination as to "race, creed, color, or national origin." All defense contracts were to include provisions that barred private contractors from discrimination as well. (en)
  • L'Executive Order 8802 est signé par Franklin Delano Roosevelt le 25 juin 1941 pour interdire la discrimination ethnique ou raciale dans l'industrie de la défense américaine. Il vise également à mettre en place un comité pour l'accès égal à l'emploi. Il s'agit de la première action fédérale à promouvoir l'égalité des chances et à interdire la discrimination à l'embauche aux Etats-Unis. Le facteur ethnique, qui prive beaucoup d'Italiens et d'Allemands de contribuer à l'effort de guerre, est une motivation principale de Roosevelt. Roosevelt critique la discrimination à l'embauche et ses conséquences : « There is evidence available that needed workers have been barred from industries engaged in defense production solely because of considerations of race, creed, color or national origin, to the detriment of workers' morale and of national unity. » « Nous avons la preuve que des travailleurs dont nous avons besoin ont été éloignés d'industries de la production pour la défense seulement à cause de leur race, de leur croyance, de leur couleur ou de leur origine nationale, au détriment du moral des travailleurs et de l'unité nationale. » Les militants pour les droits civiques A. Philip Randolph et Walter White organisent une manifestation à Washington, D.C. en 1941 pour protester contre la discrimination raciale dans l'industrie et l'armée. Ils annulent la manifestation quand l'ordre exécutif est promulgué. (fr)
