what was the black cabinet and why was it important?
The Black Cabinet was first known as the Federal Council of Negro Affairs, an informal group of African American public policy advisors to United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was supported by the first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. By mid-1935 there were 45 African Americans working in federal executive departments and New Deal agencies.Roosevelt's administration wanted to tend to the increasing needs of African Americans which, in practical terms, had not been met since the Lincoln administration. African Americans wanted some form of representation which had not been provided for them. This need was seen by the administration at the time and prominent individuals from the African American community were chosen unofficially to represent the needs of African Americans. "Through these efforts, blacks were appointed to positions of responsibility within numerous governmental agencies, the 'Black Cabinet' or 'Black Brain Trust' - a vocal and eloquent group of highly trained and politically astute African American intellectuals who spearheaded the struggle for civil rights during the thirties." [1]. Members of the "cabinet" worked officially and unofficially in their agencies to provide insight into the needs of African Americans. In the past, there had never been so many chosen at one time to work together for the African American community, though these 45 were primarily an advisory group. [2]. It is said that the first lady Eleanor Roosevelt encouraged the organization of the Black Cabinet to help shape New Deal programs
