Talk:Black Cabinet

Untitled

This page needs some major work.

Potential articles

All members of the Black Cabinet were wiki linked - each deserves an article.--Parkwells (talk) 20:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Earlier group

The article starts from FDR's Black Cabinet but there was an earlier group in place, one formed during the William Howard Taft administration, led by assistant attorney general William Lewis. This cabinet was dismissed by the next president: Woodrow Wilson. See Encyclopedia of African American Politics, page 37. This earlier group did not enjoy easy access to the president, but they were consulted occasionally. Booker T. Washington advised Teddy Roosevelt from time to time, and continued with Taft. See Louis R. Harlan's Booker T. Washington: The Wizard Of Tuskegee, page 351. P. B. S. Pinchback was in this early group.[1] Binksternet (talk) 17:46, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Merge discussion

The article Federal Council of Negro Affairs appears to be the formal name of a group of African-American appointees within the executive branch. They are more widely and informally known as the Black Cabinet. Mitchumch (talk) 13:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Agree with merge the "Federal Council of Negro Affairs" sounds official but it was not -- Mary Bethune coined it informally in 1936 and the black press sometimes used it. Rjensen (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

 Done Merged. Mitchumch (talk) 10:58, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
