Black Job Loss Deja Vu By Betsy Leondar-Wright, Dollars and Sense
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said in 1968, 'When there is massive unemployment in the black community, it is called a social problem. But when there is massive unemployment in the white community, it is called a depression.' The New Deal response to the Great Depression included public works jobs and a strengthened safety net, most of which excluded people of color. Mary Clark clearly recognizes what happens when there is no New Deal for unemployed African Americans: 'North Carolina has people who want to work, but we don't have anyone pushing work our way. We need the mills back. We're people used to working, and when you take the work away, what do you have left?'------------------------------------------- posted 8:13 AM :: reference link ::
