Until the presidential election in 1936, most Black people were republicans and voted that way. The great depression changed that. On this day in 1936, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected the 32nd President of the United States. The black vote joined the New Deal coalition, which brought America out of the depression. Again, without the black vote, this would not have been possible.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was elected the 35th President of the United States of America. The literature has confirmed that without the Black Vote, he would have never become President.
