Government jobs have long been viewed as an entry point for Black Americans into the middle class.

Historically, the federal government had more progressive hiring and retention practices than private enterprises.

The rise of the Black federal workforce helped build a Black middle class in America after generations of segregation, prejudice and worse, says Marc Morial .

Last week was her last as a federal employee, after mass layoffs swept through the Education Department .

Quay Crowner , the eldest daughter of Denise and Jesse Smith , spent almost 11 years in supervisory positions within the department: human resources director, chief administration officer, and most recently, outreach and engagement director in the Federal Student Aid office.

She said her mission throughout has been to help students and their parents find money to attend college.
