The fight against policies of discrimination and economic and social injustices has long defined the history of African Americans and underserved urban communities.

For over a century, the National Urban League, founded in 1910, has been a powerful engine for progress and empowerment. Today, as one of 90 affiliates across the country, the Urban League collectively serves nearly two million individuals in 300 communities annually.

Despite this work, vast disparities remain in income, employment, education, quality housing, and basic healthcare, creating a persistent socioeconomic divide. We believe this divide can be overcome only by empowering our communities.
