ABSTRACT
This dissertation endeavors to study the Roosevelt's New Deal of 1930's and its impacts on
African Americans. This work studied the Blacks suffering in order to seek their equality as
Whites before the deal. The results of this research have revealed that color determines one's
position and life in America so white people gave themselves the opportunity to oppress
blacks who did never accept this racial discrimination, instead, they tried over time to change
this reality. Additionally, the study shows that Blacks calling for their rights lasting for long
time which show the opposition between the American pretending of democracy and equality
and the lived reality there. More else, the research confirms that Roosevelt was like all
preceding American presidents who never look for African Americans or other minorities, but
deepening the gap. From other view, the study investigates that the New Deal was little
beneficial for them in the way that Roosevelt did not crackdown the Blacks organizations to
demand their rights, instead he appointed many of them in high positions which back with a
great acceptance for Roosevelt among Blacks in the elections of 1936, and the greatest result
of the New Deal was the Civil Right Movement which took place mainly during the 1950s
and 1960s.
