The black vote switched in 1936 and never went back.

In 1932 FDR got the usual democrat black vote of about 23% but he did something that reversed the black vote in 1936 winning 71%, and it has stayed that way ever since, there was no gradual movement, it happened instantly and totally.

Didn’t Eisenhower win the majority of black votes in 1956?
