Congress of Racial Equality

US nonviolent civil-rights organization, founded in Chicago in 1942 by James Farmer. CORE first concentrated on housing, then sponsored Freedom Rides into the South in 1961 and a lengthy campaign of voter registration. Its work helped achieve such results as the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In recent years, CORE's politically conservative approach has drawn criticism from more militant African-Americans, and its role has been diminished.
