Urban League South conference backs southern expansion
Forty two delegates from 11 southern communities at the first Urban League Southern Regional Conference on May 7 urged rapid expansion of the League’s social and economic programs in the South to serve a growing Negro urban population. They called for a Southern finance committee, a graduate fellowship, and more southern representation on the National Board, with plans to reconvene in Atlanta in April 1950.
