In 1930 blacks had no civil rights, land ownership was possible but very limited. For instance, if a black family "owned" land, the white people could take it if the saw a use for it. Blacks were not allow to serve in any political positions on any level.
The only jobs that blacks could perform was work in the house of exslave owners doing "chores" like cleaning washing and farm/ yard work or cooking. But they were not allowed to live in the exslave owner's house. Instead they were sent to live in a barn- like structure or a 1-2 room shack with no heat or lamps.
Also in the 30s, the marketplace in USA had a downturn. The economic crisys made people go find other jobs, as shown here, two guys that go to an farm/ranch to find a job or two..
