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".]]> 2022-12-20 20:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2426148286 Artwork by Ernest Crinchlow ssheehan11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427269584 http://galeriemyrtis.net/ernest-crichlow-secondary-market/ ]]> 2022-12-22 07:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427269584 The inspiring artist Ernest Crinchlow ssheehan11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427556720 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.]]> 2022-12-22 16:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427556720 bbyhoffer1 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427613398 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.

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. ]]> 2022-12-23 01:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427741793 ssheehan11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427791444 https://www.traveldiariesapp.com/en/diary/fa36434d-0b4a-448f-b547-6d70cbb93148/chapter/6cdae8e3-3563-4ede-99be-49f41ff09abc]]> 2022-12-23 02:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427791444 ssheehan11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427792121 https://www.amistadresource.org/plantation_to_ghetto/the_great_depression.html ]]> 2022-12-23 02:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427792121 Art work by Jacob Lawrence ssheehan11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427799362 https://destinationgettysburg.com/event/details/virtual-program-on-jacob-lawrences-great-migration/ ]]> 2022-12-23 02:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2427799362 bbyhoffer1 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/673cjsrdf5wo8mkc/wish/2428068180 Even after the great depression ended the white people were the first to get jobs.

    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."
