One of the New Deal programs that provided opportunities for many Black Americans was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942, providing jobs in natural resource conservation. While initially it had racial segregation and limited participation of Black individuals, over time it did contribute to the employment of many Black Americans in various conservation projects.
However, it's important to note that while the CCC helped some Black Americans, the program's overall implementation varied significantly by region and often reflected the racial discrimination prevalent in society at the time.
The other options you mentioned, such as the Domestic Workers Administration and the Social Security Corps, do not exist as specific New Deal programs. The Negro Affairs Administration is not typically recognized as a standalone program but refers more broadly to efforts under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and other agencies to address the needs of Black Americans during the New Deal era.
Overall, the CCC is the best answer among the options you provided when considering recognized New Deal programs.
