What was true about the desegregation of the defense industry under president franklin roosevelt?

An executive order in 1941 during WWII times by Franklin Roosevelt's presidency prohibited racial discrimination in the defense industry, allowing slave descendants take over a big deal of "cheap jobs" although being paid less, which backfired a bit for them due white supremacist felt their jobs were taken away; but it subsequently helped fueling later civil right movements.

The Executive order 8802 (Fair Employment Practices Committee) was only possible after a Protest Movement by slave descendants led by Philip Randolph with marches in Washington against racial discrimination in the defense industry.

Roosevelt feared the protests would hurt the war efforts and changed his position by creating that Committee with that order.
