Audio Antiques - Discrimination South & North

In this podcast we focus on difficulties African-Americans faced in housing and employment during the time of Jim Crow racism, in both the south and the north, as presented on the program New World A' Comin'. First, with the 1945 episode entitled Hot Spots USA, which follows a family trying to escape discrimination for a better life. Then a 1944 episode called Executive Order 8802, which was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt to prohibit ethnic or racial discrimination in the nation's defense industry.
