August 5, 1943 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt White House Washington, D.C. My dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Just a word in these days of crisis and of storm and stress to express my deep appreciation for the great service you are rendering in you own way to the cause of democracy in general, and justice for the Negro people in particular. I need not tell you that there is a deep affection among the Negro people for you, because of your forthright and sincere advocacy in human justice. Because of your attitude for equality and freedom for all people you are the subject of severe criticism among certain sources, but this has been so with the pioneers of human liberty. I just wanted to send you this note, and I do not expect an answer. Sincerely yours, A. Philip Randolph International President APR:RB

 Discrimination and segregation existed in the New Deal programs  The system of Jim Crow existed to prevent any movement for true equality  New Deal programs failed to improve the lives of the African Americans that participated

 African Americans were excluded from social security coverage and minimum wage provisions  Roosevelt never endorsed demands for an anti-lynching law and abolition of the poll tax  Roosevelt was concerned about losing white southern Democratic votes

September 11 th, 1944 Letter to Eleanor Roosevelt from Irene C. Stephens of Ashville, NC “However noble your impulses may be, it is clear that you do not understand the situation at more than one point. For instance, I know people who had admired you tremendously up to the time you put forth your ideas concerning the negro race, which resulted in the disruption of life generally in the South.”

FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) Did not offer social security coverage Minimum wage not enforced Criticisms of New Deal Programs TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) Constructed all-white towns Confined blacks to low- wage jobs CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp) Racially segregated NRA (National Recovery Administration) “Negroes Ruined Again” “Negro Removal Act” AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Act) Took the land of African Americans first
