The National Urban League (National Urban League) was an American movement that was born at the beginning of the 20th century to fight for the improvement of the living, social and economic conditions of blacks in the northern states of the United States.
The League was revitalized in the 1960s, at the height of the civil rights movement. At that time his program included the defense of racial integration in the economy and society, as well as the need for racial reconciliation in the country.
He managed to raise millions of dollars and his intervention was fundamental in the programs of the “Great Society”, which we have studied in this newspaper, and in relation to urban regeneration.
In the 1970s, the movement was surpassed by others of greater political significance and more radical, such as “Black Power”, as well as by the conservative turn of the federal government on economic and racial matters.
