Well, here I've just written an event dealing with Executive Order 8802. This was when Roosevelt signed an order outlawing discrimination in defense corporation hiring practises at the urging of civil rights groups.
The USA player won't like this event due to its "damned if you do, damned if you don't" quality, but unfortunately factory workers historically didn't accept the hiring of Blacks in defense industries very well, even shutting down plants, and if Roosevelt hadn't acted there would have been a backlash from the Black community.
The treatment of Blacks (and others) had lent the Japanese and Germans a lot of propoganda material so I've given the US diplomatic penalties or bonuses depending on what they choose. I've also assumed that manpower will increase if Roosevelt signs the order due to factory workers now able to be replaced by Black labor.
Here is the event, if you think it is appropriate for CORE. (US needs plenty of dissent raising events imo)

Unfortunately, 75% of all war industries refused to hire Blacks to any position and another 15% only hired janitors and menial laborers. Frustrated by the refusal of defense corporations to hire Black workers, the NAACP demanded action from the Federal government. The Union of Black Porters leader A. Phillip Randolph organized a mass protest and march on Washington to involve 100,000 African Americans. Alarmed by the threat to national image and the crusade for his 'Four Freedoms' U.S. President Roosevelt met with Randolph and other civil rights leaders two weeks before the scheduled date of the protest. When Roosevelt asked what he should do in order to stop the march, Randolph demanded an Executive Order outlawing discrimination of any kind in war industry hiring practices."
