In Black History Month this year, the Urban League proudly highlights the history of our work in Atlanta as we celebrate the centennial of our founding in 1920. Please enjoy this recap and keep an eye on this site for weekly highlights on notable people and events that shaped our course.
We’re part of a broader, National Urban League network of 98 historic civil rights organizations throughout the United States—all dedicated to fostering economic empowerment in order to elevate the standard of living in historically underserved urban communities. The Urban League does not discriminate based on race or ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.
