Truman's request that the Congress act to mitigate discrimination against blacks did not result in any congressional action. The Presidential Committee on Civil Rights reported to the President that racial discrimination continued blocking Blacks from jobs, education, civil rights, and did nothing to stop lynching. When a combination of Republicans and Southern Democrats blocked Truman's civil rights programs, Truman issued an executive order that banned discrimination in the army, navy, civil service jobs, and in companies that did business with the federal government. Under Truman, the Supreme Court ordered some southern states to admit blacks to state supported professional schools because the segregated medical and legal training they offered blacks was not equal in quality to that provided for whites. Truman's Civil Rights program was moderate. He did not attack Jim Crow laws, which "legally" allowed segregation laws to be passed. But the "Man from Missouri" did more for civil rights than FDR.
