desegregate the military
One important thing President Truman did was to desegregate the military. The armed forces had always been segregated, with separate units for black soldiers (usually under the command of a white officer); frequently, the black troops were given only menial assignments and not allowed to advance to higher ranks, no matter how valiantly they served. In 1948, President Truman used an executive order to integrate the military. It was not a popular move at the time, but he believed it was the right thing to do, so he moved forward with it.
Yes he did integrate the USA Armed Forces based on skin color, not by gender, (women were still limited to minor roles in the military) after WWII ended.
