National Urban League

In alliance with his compliant foot soldiers on Capitol Hill and emboldened by a Supreme Court majority bending to his wishes, Donald Trump is using his second term in office to create an upside-down Alice in Wonderland government where civil rights become civil wrongs and the strength of diversity becomes a weakness.

On July 17, delegates from the National Urban League’s 92 affiliates gathered in Cleveland for the 2025 National Urban League Conference, focused squarely on assessing and responding to the urgent conditions outlined in the latest “State of Black America” report.

The vibrant city of New Orleans played host to the National Urban League Annual Conference from July 24 to July 27, 2024, marking a significant event in the civil rights and urban advocacy landscape.

Just a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol, hundreds of delegates from around the country gathered last week as part of the National Urban League’s Empowerment Summit, which included the highly anticipated State of Black America Report, “The Civil Rights Act of 1964: 60 Years Later.”
