description: "Anna Arnold Hedgeman was an African-American civil rights leader, politician, educator, and writer. Under President Harry Truman, Hedgeman served as executive director of the National Council for a Permanent Fair Employment Practices Commission, having worked on his presidential campaign. She was also appointed to New York City mayor Robert Wagner's cabinet, becoming the first African-American woman to hold a cabinet post in New York. Hedgeman was a major advocate for both minorities and the poor in New York City. She also served as a consultant for many companies and entities on racial issues, and late in life founded Hedgeman Consultant Services. She was among the organizers of the 1963 March on Washington. During her years in the civil rights movement, she befriended Dorothy Height."
