As more white men were enlisted in the armed forces, African Americans and women needed to take over the jobs of those men so that America would be able to manufacture tanks, airplanes, ships, guns, submarines, jeeps, etc. This gave them the ability to obtain jobs after the war and helped make equal work opportunities for people of all races and sexes in the 50s and 60s
