National Urban League
The National Urban League's 2009 conference in Chicago last week was an outstanding success. More than 5,000 attendees flocked to "the city of broad shoulders," to add their voices and show their support for the Urban League movement now in its 99th year. In the next few weeks in this space, I will review some of the many conference highlights. Today, I want to summarize the State of the Urban League Address which I delivered on the evening of July 29th before an overflow audience at Chicago's historic Apostolic Church of God.
First of all, I was proud to report that the state of the National Urban League is strong. Against the dark storm clouds and hurricane force winds of the economic recession, our more than 100 affiliates served over 2 million people last year
