[ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. (1882-1945)]. A group of 4 items related to Roosevelt's campaign and the support of African American Democratic voters.

The Story of the New Deal and the Negro. [Pennsylvania]: Colored Democratic State Campaign Committee, ca 1938. Folio (290 x 400 mm). Original wrappers (horizontal central crease throughout from old fold, last page with 2 1/2 in. tear near crease, few small rips and tears throughout). This 15-page publication highlights some of the specific benefits the African American population has gained from programs employed by the Democratic federal and state administrations.

President Saved His Little Farm. Indianapolis: Indiana Democratic State Central Committee, Hendren Printing Co., Inc., ca 1933. 8vo (129 x 205 mm). Staple-bound original wrappers (vertical central crease throughout pamphlet from old fold, soiling to wrappers, some edge wear throughout). This pamphlet serves as a "Negro Political Handbook For Campaign of 1934," outlining the ways in which the Democratic Party, through its candidates and programs, has helped the African American population.

WRIGHT Jr., R.R. Why the Colored Citizen Should Help Re-elect President Roosevelt. Chicago, IL: Colored Division of the Midwestern Region Democratic National Committee, n.d. 8vo (146 x 217 mm). Staple-bound original wrappers (light wear, minor discoloration). Pamphlet uses statistics and specific examples to highlight the New Deal's positive effects on the African American population, praising it thusly: "What the New Deal has done is far beyond our dream. It would take a book many times larger than this little pamphlet to tell the whole story."

In Grateful Appreciation to Our Great Commander-in-Chief Franklin D. Roosevelt From the Negroes of Texas. 215 x 279 mm printed broadside (toning, chipping and loss to edges, some separation to horizontal creases). N.p., ca 1944. This broadside features a list of 5 ways in which Franklin D. Roosevelt "and his beloved wife" have helped the African American race, including "3) In the swift and decisive use of the President's powers under the FEPC, in ending the strike of white employees of the Philadelphia Traction System, fomented by negro-baiters and poll-taxers." Text at bottom urges readers to vote to re-elect Roosevelt in the upcoming election on 7 November (1944).
