Abstract:

Scholarly examination of New Deal effects on African Americans largely focuses on negative aspects of President Roosevelt's program. However, during this period, the President appointed nearly one hundred African American advisers \"who focused on ending racial discrimination in federal programs.\" One such adviser was Lawrence Augustus Oxley and he is the focus of this paper which hopes to illuminate an understudied scholastic topic.
