On a cold winter day, thousands gathered in front of the White House to demonstrate against racial injustice and out-of-control unemployment.

Meanwhile, the president watched from the White House.

With joblessness soaring after the 1929 stock market crash, it represented one of the first nationwide demonstrations where Whites and Blacks — most members of the Communist Party — locked arms against an unfair system.
