NEW YORK (June 5, 2023) – Just a few weeks after taking the reins of the nation’s largest historic civil rights organization, Marc H. Morial delivered his first “State of the Urban League” keynote address at the Conference in Pittsburgh, laying out a bold, 5-point Empowerment Agenda that would come to define the next two decades of civil rights leadership.

Twenty years later, these five points stand enshrined as the National Urban League’s five pillars: Jobs and Economic Empowerment, Education and Youth Development, Health and Quality of Life, Housing and Community Development, Justice and Civic Engagement.

As the first elected official to lead the National Urban League, Morial has brought an unprecedented political savvy and deep comprehension of the inner workings of government not just to the Urban League, but to the entire 21st Century Civil Rights Movement.

CHICAGO (June 5, 2023) – According to the Chicago Urban League (Chicago, IL), there is a lot of work to be done in Chicago.

The Urban League recently released their “State of Black Chicago,” which reports a frightening view of the city if inequity isn’t addressed within the city.

The report highlights how the city has lost about 85,000 Black residents over the last ten plus years. Most moved to suburbs for better housing, better education, and safety concerns.

With so many leaving the city, issues remain for the residents who remain.

Black residents of Chicago are doing worse than their white counterparts in areas such as household income, home ownership, and health.
