D. outlawed discrimination in war industries.
A. Philip Randolph, a prominent African American labor leader, organized the march to protest racial discrimination in defense industries. The march was called off after President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, which banned racial discrimination in the defense industry and established the Fair Employment Practices Committee. This decision addressed Randolph's concerns and led to the cancellation of the planned protest.
