The Black community before the Great Depression

# data[].attributes.body
African Americans before the depression, didn't have good jobs or had trouble finding jobs, in the Article "Last Hired, First Fired: How the Great Depression Affected African Americans" by Christopher Klein it states "Prior to the Great Depression, African Americans worked primarily in unskilled jobs. After the stock market crash of 1929, those entry-level, low-paying jobs either disappeared or were filled by whites in need of employment."

After the great depression had ended Roosevelt published a law banning discrimination when hiring people to work for you. There was a new Fair employment act which made sure that African American people receive the same job opportunities of white people.

Even after the great depression ended the white people were the first to get jobs. This meant that even after the great depression the unemployment rates were still low for African American people.

During The Great Depression, African Americans' little part of the economy or social standing was ripped apart from them. African Americans would try to live off of the low wages and males or their families would try to maintain their job. If they didn't have a job would try to get food, clothing, or housing. Families that worked for a white family or white person gained little money from cleaning the house, cooking, or taking care of the children.

The Great Depression of the 1930s worsened the already bleak economic situation of African Americans. They were the first to be laid off from their jobs, and they suffered from an unemployment rate two to three times that of whites.

Because African Americans were the first to be fired from their jobs, their unemployment rates severely dropped; it was two to three times worse than that of whites.

Blacks were forced to work in very harsh environments and were labeled to be at least second-class citizens. In the journal "To ask for an equal chance: African Americans in the Great Depression" by D.W. Bilal it states, "African Americans were only 64 years beyond enslavement, with de jure segregation relegating them to second-class citizenship and generally only the meanest, dirtiest employment. The Depression made things worse".

Ernest Crinchlow was an African-American Painter, Illustrator, Graphic Artist and Educator. His goal in life was to show the struggles and constraints that had been placed in the colored community. He had actually worked along side Jacob Lawrence; both were supported by the Works Progress Administration(WPA). When Ernest was talking about a piece of art work he did he states "I try to show all od the emotions... I'm interested in clarity." This is relevant because most of his work show you different emotions and lifelike situations the Black community had to deal with.
