Racial Studies

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the majority of the early foundations for the struggle for racial equality in relation to the Civil Rights Movements of the 1930s and 1940s. The paper examines how the platform for unions and economic issues was a major catalyst for a greater sense of integration between blacks and whites, but the advent of war helped to prevent the nullifying effects of black equality in Roosevelt's New Deal.

From the Paper:

"The aim of this racial study is to analyze the basis of the Civil Rights Movements of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Through these times periods, one can determine the influence of the Labor Movement, the Great Depression and the other various economic aspects of the African American push for equal rights. In the evolution of these earlier movements, the development of a unified and far more political structure became apparent through President Roosevelt's and the March on Washington that became a message of solidarity in race issues in America. In this manner, the advent of World War II and the Great Depression were catalysts for equality of rights for African Americans, as they forged a movement which would a reach an apogee during the 1960s."
