During the 1930's the NAACP worked on several issues despite the limitations which the Great Depression made on contributions from African Americans and foundations.  They would work successfully against discrimination in Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs, segregated southern schools and develop a coterie of African American lawyers to pursue their cases.
