AA New Deal

Key facts for the New Deal African American Civil Rights. A level OCR history,

TermDefinition
Special Adviser on the Economic Status of the Negro AA Robert Weaver appointed, and later headed the Public Works Administration. He led to grants of $45m for AA schools, hospitals and homes.
Federal Emergency Relief Administration Poor relief and job creation projects helped AAs. Over 250,000 AAs were given literacy help via federal aid, and employment training was also provided by institutions.
Farm Security Administration Gave help to Southern AAs that were hit by the drop in food and raw material prices after 1929
Race relations The New Deal helped improve the atmosphere towards civil rights - Eleanor Roosevelt supported AA organisations and disapproved of segregation, and the NAACP grew.
Support for the Arts Federal support was provided for AA culture, music, writing and intellectual, cementing the influence of the 1920s 'Harlem Renaissance'.
Sharecroppers Little was done for the 200,000 evicted sharecroppers, and federal programmes reduced crop production, leaving little help for AA farmers.
Unemployment AAs suffered disproportionally from unemployment
Wagner Act New power to unions (such as the AFL) resulted in the exclusion of AAs and lower pay rates.
Social security and regulations Social security generally did not apply to AAs, and regulations were often evaded in the South.
Segregation Segregation remained prevalent in most industries, including the military.
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Did offer some relief by giving work to the unemployed, but was segregated, and often gave the worst and most poorly paid work to AAS.
Voting rights Roosevelt did not improve AA voting rights.
Spending programmes Most of the spending programmes went to the East and West (where Roosevelt needed political support) rather than the South.
