How the New Deal Harmed Black Americans ([link removed])
David T. Beito (National Review)
[link removed]
The New Deal harmed black Americans? Yes, badly. Very badly in Memphis, TN. And those violations of civil rights foreshadowed the extraordinary civil-rights violation yet to come: the mass confinement of Japanese Americans in what FDR himself called “concentration camps.” Why, then, is FDR still such a hero to so many progressives?
