President Franklin D. Roosevelt gained the support of many African Americans by implementing policies that addressed economic hardship during the Great Depression, such as the New Deal programs, which provided jobs and relief. He also appointed African Americans to key positions in his administration, notably the "Black Cabinet," which allowed for greater representation and advocacy for African American issues. Additionally, Roosevelt's administration took steps to combat racial discrimination, which resonated with disenfranchised communities seeking change. These actions helped shift African American political allegiance from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party during this era.
