The Depression did have some sort of effect on the African Americans, but not as much as the White people.

The poll tax, grandfather clause, and literacy tests were discriminatory measures used in the South to disenfranchise African Americans after the Reconstruction era. The poll tax required individuals to pay a fee to vote, which many African Americans could not afford. The grandfather clause allowed those who had the right to vote before the Civil War to bypass these restrictions, effectively excluding African Americans. Literacy tests, often unfairly administered, further hindered their ability to register and participate in elections, reinforcing systemic racism and limiting their political power.
The Ku Klux Klan Acts of 1870 and 1871 barred the use of force against voters. In the face of the terrorism, voting by African Americans declined.
