Many have written about racial discrimination in the United States since Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 1852 and Frederick Douglas during the Civil War. The work of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois led to such 20th Century authors such as Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and Langston Hughes, with Pulitzer Prize-winner Alice Walker and Toni Morrison the best known today.

Roosevelt's Executive Order 8802 prohibiting racial discrimination in defense work.
