Explanation:
The problems of the Great Depression affected
virtually every group of Americans. No group
was harder hit than African Americans,
however. By 1932, approximately half of black
Americans were out of work. In some Northem
cities, whites called for blacks to be fired from
any jobs as long as there were whites out of
work. Racial violence again became more
common, especially in the South. Lynchings,
which had declied to eight in 1932, surged to
28 in 1933
