Question

Blacks fought back against the economic oppression they faced during the Great Depression. They coordinated sophisticated efforts to leverage their collective economic power to send a message of protest by not shopping at stores that would not employ them.True / False.

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

Blacks in the Great Depression were again put through suffering unlike their other racial counterparts as they were the first to be fired, last to receive aid if they did receive it and some soup kitchens even excluded them.

In response to this the St. Louis Urban League launched in 1929, a JOBS FOR NEGROES movement that saw the boycotting of shops that wouldn't hire black employees.
