Answer 1

The correct response regarding the effect of Philip Randolph’s threat to march on Washington, D.C. is:

**A committee was formed to ensure that African Americans were hired alongside whites for defense jobs.**

This largely resulted from the pressure Randolph applied, which led to President Franklin D. Roosevelt issuing Executive Order 8802, prohibiting racial discrimination in the national defense industry and establishing the Fair Employment Practices Committee.
