Life for black workers in North America during the Depression

Evelyn Macon describes her job in a laundry, which entails working long hours for $10 a week and that none of the workers feel as though they can complain as a white worker would take their jobs. Elmer Thomas is a meat packer who describes the tensions between white and black workers and how white workers would prevent black workers from learning and how back workers get the worst jobs.
