It was the dawn of the industrial revolution and the 20th century, and Atlanta was a segregated city. These families were seeking opportunities and the Urban League of Greater Atlanta provided the much needed support to connect with employment, job training, housing, health care and education for their children. Ninety-three years later, in the midst of the worst economic downturn our nation has ever experienced, the Urban League of Greater Atlanta is just as relevant today, as it was in 1920. The agency works diligently to Empower Communities and Change Lives! The National Urban League, founded in 1910 and headquartered in New York City, spearheads our nonprofit, nonpartisan, national community-based movement that has grown to over 100 affiliates in 36 states across the country.
