REVIEWS OF THE BOOK
“A well-researched, urgent, and necessary history of black folks during the New Deal that excavates the too often ignored history of black female genius behind racial progress.”―Michael Eric Dyson, New York Times bestselling author of Jay – Z
“Watts is . . . at her best when she gives a frank accounting of the barriers the Black Cabinet encountered. Again and again, its members pushed for a desperately needed reform, only to have it rejected ― or simply ignored ― by an administration much more interested in appeasing the segregationist South . . . The value of this thoughtful book [is] clear.”―New York Times Book Review
