Phillip Randolph was president and founder of the brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the nation's most respected African American labor leader and the reason why he met President Roosevelt was that he wanted Roosevelt to allow Colored Americans to support their country.
2. Who were the WAACs, and why were they important to the war effort?
They are the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps and they were important because they worked as nurses, ambulance drivers, radio operators, electricians, and pilots.
3. How well did African-Americans do during WWII?
African-Americans didn't do well in the beginning because they lived in segregated cities and weren't allowed to support the war until Randolph stood up for the A.A.'s and now are able to support their country and people wouldn't disrespect them.
