National Urban League

US service organization established in 1911 to fight against racial discrimination and to increase the political and economic power of blacks and other minority groups. Its national headquarters is in New York, with around 115 local chapters throughout the USA.

Originally called the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, the organization aimed to help blacks from rural Southern areas adapt to life in New York City. The League quickly developed affiliates in other cities and went on to become a major influence in the civil-rights movement. Its main aims have been to improve welfare, employment, education, and other social issues, and sponsors community programs in areas such as health care, community development, and job training.
