Additional Details

This wide-ranging report from the eve of American entrance into the war addresses segregation in the military and in the defense industries, as might be expected--but also covers religion, public health, education, "morale and mental hygiene," and much more. It features a facsimile introductory letter from President Roosevelt, expressing warm support for the patriotic goals of the conference. None traced at auction.
