President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity
The President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity was formed by President Harry S Truman as part of Executive Order 9981. This committee consisted of Charles H. Fahy as chairman and four other members, two of whom were African-American. The committee's main purpose was to oversee successful racial integration of the US Armed Forces.[1]
President Truman abolished the commission on July 6, 1950, on what he termed successful completion of integration in the armed forces.
