Fair Employment Practice Committee

The Fair Employment Practice Committee (FEPC) was created in 1941 in the United States to implement Executive Order 8802 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt "banning discriminatory employment practices by Federal agencies and all unions and companies engaged in war-related work." This was shortly before the United States entered World War II. The committee was created in response to labor and civil rights pressure (such as a march on Washington suggested by A. Philip Randolph) in the country. The executive order also required federal vocational and training programs to be administered without discrimination.
