A. Philip Randolph initially planned to lead a March on Washington in 1941 to protest racial discrimination in defense industries and demand civil rights for African Americans. However, he called off the march after President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, which prohibited racial discrimination in the defense sector and established the Fair Employment Practices Committee. This action was seen as a significant step towards addressing the issues Randolph aimed to highlight, leading him to postpone the march in favor of working with the government for change.
