Truman uses his executive power to advance civil rights for African Americans by bringing African Americans to the military.

Lilliana Herring · Answer 2

Truman used his executive power to increase the rights of African-Americans in the military. They claimed that they would not join the draft and would organize protests and marches if they were not given rights like the white soldiers, so he used his executive powers to appease them.
