"Some of the New Deal programs to fight the Depression were later ruled unconstitutional."
The new deal programs that were challenged in court were withdrawn.
The New Deal was a set of domestic programs in the United States in response to the Great Depression. A few of these programs attempted to give the African American minority some help, but they did nothing to deal with the racism and segregation already around, and some of the programs actually hurt the African American community further.
The President that proposed the New Deal was Franklin D. Roosevelt. The programs in the New Deal focused on relief, recovery, and reform.
The New Deal was a series of domestic programs designed to get Americans back on their feet after the Great Depression. Blacks were hit especially hard by the loss of jobs; some programs in the New Deal inadvertently hurt them, but the administration tried to help their plight. At first, most of the New Deal programs targeted men because they considered them the head of the household. Later programs included women.

The New Deal introduced a bevy of social programs never imagined by former presidents. The catch was that the programs were opportunities to work, not to simply collect.
Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal began in 1933: among his programs were the Works Progress Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Tennessee Valley Authority, Social Security, the SEC and the FDIC.
