FDR was concentrating on the economic problems for the workers, including minorities. But on the issue of civil rights, FDR was silent. No major civil rights laws were passed. The Democratic Party depended upon the "Solid South" for support and FDR overlooked things like the Jim Crow Laws of southern states. He even refused to give his support to an anti-lynching bill and he allowed segregation of work gangs on federal projects. Under pressure from the NAACP and Eleanor Roosevelt, and other minority leaders, the New Dealers made sure Blacks shared in relief programs. Black people moved into more than a third of new housing units constructed by the federal government.
