Explain how franklins and eleanor roosevelt affected the civil rights of african americans

It will be correct to say that the civil rights of African Americans couldn't have been a reality without the illustrious effort and contribution of great figures like Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. These renowned civil right activists represented the voices of the oppressed African Americans at a time when racism and segregation was the order of the day. They advocated for equality of all races, and abolition of discrimination. They initiated programs that promoted equality of Americans and defended the cause of African Americans. Eleanor Roosevelt advocated for the rights of black women also. She also opposed bills that were discriminatory to African Americans.
