Answer 1

The main effect of Phillip Randolph's threat to march on Washington, D.C. was that Congress addressed racial discrimination and acts of violence, such as lynching. Additionally, a committee was formed to ensure that African Americans were hired alongside whites for defense jobs. This threat also pressured President Roosevelt to admit African Americans and other minorities into the military. However, the internment of Japanese Americans into camps was a separate and unrelated event during World War II.
