In 1930, Herbert Hoover appointed her to the White House Conference on Child Health. In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her a national adviser and together they created the Federal Council on Negro Affairs, also known as the Black Cabinet. In 1935, she founded the National Council of Negro Women in NYC. In 1973, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
