As a result, he responded to the economic crisis with a goal of getting people back to work rather than directly granting relief. In October 1930, he established the President's Emergency Committee for Employment (later renamed the President's Organization for Unemployment Relief) to coordinate the efforts of local welfare agencies.

Answer:
The "Petit Blancs" was a French name given to the poor white citizens of Haiti that didn't own much or any land. These poor white folk were looked down on by the rich white plantation owners while also disliked by the black slaves. La Petit Blancs can be pretty compared to the peasants in France before the revolution although the black slaves did most of the manual labor in Haiti compared to the poor whites. When the slave rebellion lead by Louverture, Toussaint occurred, most of the petit blancs did not have the money to flee Haiti like the rich and were forced to live in a tense situation with the now self governing freed slaves. Pockets of petit blanc territory remained throughout the island though violence broke out between them and the Gens de couleur libres at times. This revolution is yet another example of the lesser class majority winning over the rich as well as one of the first examples of black independence and freedom.
