Fair Employment Practices Committee

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition
Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC), established (1941) within the Office of Production Management by executive order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was created to promote the fullest employment of all available persons and to eliminate discriminatory employment practices.
