3 although it was canceled, the 1941 march on washington was still successfu what evidence from the text supports this conclusion? a after efforts to prevent the march, roosevelt issued executive order 8802, forbidding discrimination by any defense contractors and establishing the fepc to investigate charges of racial discrimination. b the national association for the advancement of colored people and the southern christian leadership conference put aside their long - standing rivalry for the march. c more than 200,000 black and white americans shared a joyous day of speeches, songs, and prayers led by a celebrated array of clergymen, civil rights leaders, politicians, and entertainers

Explanation:

To determine the evidence supporting the success of the 1941 March on Washington (despite cancellation), we analyze each option:

• Option A: Roosevelt's Executive Order 8802 (forbidding discrimination in defense contracts and establishing FEPC) was a result of efforts related to the march. This policy change shows the march achieved a key goal (addressing racial discrimination in defense work), so it supports the conclusion of success.
• Option B: The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was founded in 1957, so it couldn't have been involved in 1941. This option is factually incorrect.
• Option C: The march was canceled, so a "joyous day" of speeches etc. did not occur as described. This option is inconsistent with the march's cancellation.

Answer:

A. After efforts to prevent the march, Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, forbidding discrimination by any defense contractors and establishing the FEPC to investigate charges of racial discrimination.
