What advances were made by African Americans and women during the Great Depression

History
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
6 0

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. In early public assistance programs African Americans often received substantially less aid than whites, and some charitable organizations even excluded blacks from their soup kitchens.

How did later groups of immigrants, like the Italians, the Polish, and the Jewish were treated when they came here in the 1900s.
anzhelika [568]
Later groups of immigrants, like the Italians, Polish, and the Jewish were treated very poorly when they came to the US in the 1900s. Many immigrants were funneled into urban ghettos, areas with poor living quarters resulting in high levels of death and disease. By the 1920s, the United States was reeling from its involvement in World War I and entered a period of isolationism. This was marked partly by a withdrawal from world affairs, but also a negative view on immigrants entering the country. In the early 1920s, the US passed the Immigration Quota Act which restricted the number of immigrants allowed to enter the country. President Warren G Harding's election based on a "return to normalcy" reflected the idea that Americans disliked immigrants who maintained cultural and linguistic ties to their homelands.
