President of Chicago Urban League Steps Down
The Chicago Urban League was established in 1916 and was one of the first partners of the National Urban League in the United States. The purpose then was to focus on the needs of African Americans as they were relocating from the south to the north during the great migration, according to the Chicago Urban League. The organization has since been operating for over a century with the consistent goal of creating a strong African American community in Chicago.
