What were race relations like during the Great Depression? Would

I've got a picture of a Hooverville being broken up by police officers with black and white destitute on the same side in my computer. I'll try to find it when I get home.

May not answer your question, but it makes for a clear implication.

A quick Google search is giving me a few references to a notable absence of racial segregation in the "Bonus Army" despite the fact that they had actually been segregated in active service. Thanks for sharing, anon.

I am also finding references to a massive Hooverville in St. Louis that was also racially integrated.

Maybe people start feeling a lot more equal when they've got poverty and an common adversary in common.

That thought had occurred to me, but there are also a few recorded instances of poor white folks turning on the black "Great Migrants" during the Depression, turning them into a scapegoat and demanding that they be given their jobs.

Sad but unsurprising

I suppose the purpose of the thread was an attempt to determine (in very general terms) how common >>1657603 was compared to >>1657715.

It wasn't even caused by the depression. It was a flood that sacked the town and the people are standing in a Red Cross Line for clothes and blankets and shit.

Genuinely interesting to know, but I chose it because it was iconic and came up in a Google search for "race relations great depression"

If this is true am I the only one who finds it bizzare that the clothes on their back are of a very high standard but they lost everything else which is important to their survival?

Not OP.
