Answer to Question 1

Jimmy Carter

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the pre-1930s black relationship with labor unions was hostile because white labor unions refused to allow blacks to become members. Blacks therefore acted as strikebreakers at times for white employers trying to lock out white employees on strike.
2. Explain that President Roosevelt's efforts to pass the National Industrial Recovery Act led to a strengthening of unions in the workplace. It also led to a redefining of the importance of labor unions for all workers.
3. Conclude that the efforts of the Communist Party to solicit black support also improved labor relations between blacks and whites. Black working class people increasingly saw unions as a place to protect their jobs.
