∙ 11y agoIt was probably James W. Ford, who was on the Communist Party ticket along with presidential candidate William Z. Foster in 1932, and then with Earl Browder in 1936. A number of African-American (then called "Negro") intellectuals believed that the U.S. Communist party offered them greater acceptance and more of a commitment to equality than the mainstream political parties did.
(A note of context: While the word "Communist" would become a highly negative term during the McCarthy era and the Cold War, in the 1930s, it was not perceived as negatively. The Great Depression was going on, and with millions out of work and struggling, some Americans found that the Communist party's message about the rich getting richer and the workers and unemployed suffering made a lot of sense; the party also took a strong stand against racism long before the Civil Rights Movement. But it should be noted that the American Communist party was never very large, and most Americans did not join it. In fact, even in the 1930s, it was considered controversial. Still, when Browder and Ford ran in 1936, they received more than 80,000 votes-- a small number compared to the major party candidates, but proof that some people did agree with certain views the party expressed.)
