During the Great Depression, hundreds of thousands of African-American sharecroppers who fell into debt joined the Great Migration from the rural South to the urban North. According to Greenberg, by 1940 1.75 million African Americans had moved from the South to cities in the North and West.
Why did the Great Depression affect minority groups more severely? Thousands of European immigrants left the country for both voluntary and involuntary reasons because of the Great Depression. The minority groups were not being hired over whites and there was such few jobs.
No group was harder hit than African Americans, however. By 1932, approximately half of African Americans were out of work. In some Northern cities, whites called for African Americans to be fired from any jobs as long as there were whites out of work. Racial violence again became more common, especially in the South.
