I want to know the answer to the following question:
What position of power did Harold L. Ickes hold?
All the background I'm provided with is that "FDR's New Deal programs often contained equal opportunity clauses stating "no discrimination shall be made on account of race, color or creed",:11 but the true forerunner to affirmative action was the Interior Secretary of the time, Harold L. Ickes.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
