Women welders, 1943; from artstor.org.
1.) What did the New Deal do for Blacks? Even though there were no significant gains made in civil rights during the 1930's, there seemed to be an o
view among the black community. African-Americans were able to find help in the 1930's through the hope they viewed in the Roosevelt administra
inclusion within the CIO, and the Popular Front. What did each of these offer the African-American community? The black press said that the Nation
Recovery Administration (NRA) actually stood for "Negro Run Around" or "Negroes Ruined Again." Why did they write this? What examples can you
support or refute these slogans?
2.) Historians recognize the importance of model figures. In the 1930's and 1940's, which African Americans were model figures for African America
did they influence white Americans to see African Americans differently? Make sure that you go beyond just listing important African Americans and
accomplishments. The second question is by far the most important one. In other words, go beyond biography and narration. Go beyond politics her
about sports or entertainment as well.
3.) What effect did the World War II wartime experience have on African Americans? Did their experiences help or hinder the progress toward equa
America? How were they treated during World War II? Did the government take any effective steps to ease discrimination against African American
industries?
