Abstract
World War II initiates a second great migration of blacks from the rural south to the industrial north as blacks seek jobs they had been previously been denied. A. Phillip Randolph, head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, threatens to march on Washington if jobs do not open more quickly for blacks. White workers sometimes stage hate strikes when black workers are hired, but employers take a firm stand: either get back to work or be fired. President Roosevelt issues regulations that force employers with federal contracts to hire blacks and compensate them fairly.
