When FDR was president African Americans couldn't vote. Jim Crow laws were still in full force and they were prevented from voting. It won't be until 1965 with the civil rights laws that voting finally took place.

Why was it unusual that African Americans voted for FDR?

It was unusual for African Americans to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) because, prior to his presidency, the Democratic Party was largely associated with the segregationist South, which upheld Jim Crow laws and racial discrimination. FDR's New Deal policies, which aimed to address economic hardships during the Great Depression, appealed to many African Americans, leading to a shift in their voting patterns. This change marked the beginning of a realignment in African American political allegiance, as they began to move away from the Republican Party, which had been the party of Lincoln and emancipation. FDR's administration also included some efforts to address racial inequalities, though many felt these were insufficient.
