D. President Truman desegregated the military after the end of World War II.

Explanation:

On July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman passed an order to remove racial segregation from the US military. This order aimed at removing discrimination due to cast, colour and other factors which separate different races. This order led to the segregation of services. The facilities given to the armed forces favored the brighter complexion. This order led to removal of all the facilities which implied discrimination against the dark color. The order which was implemented taking into account of the immigrants in the US, especially the African-Americans.
