Answer: True

Explanation:

Blacks in the Great Depression were again put through suffering unlike their other racial counterparts as they were the first to be fired, last to receive aid if they did receive it and some soup kitchens even excluded them.

In response to this the St. Louis Urban League launched in 1929, a JOBS FOR NEGROES movement that saw the boycotting of shops that wouldn't hire black employees.
