The Urban League of Greater Chattanooga, under the leadership of Warren E. Logan, Jr. has sought to emphasize greater reliance on the unique resources and strengths of the African-American community to find solutions to its own problems. To accomplish this, the League's approach has been to utilize fully the tools of advocacy, research, program service and systems change. The result has been an organization with strong roots in the community, focused on the social and educational development of youth, economic self-sufficiency and racial inclusion. The Urban League in Chattanooga, through its outreach programs, serves more than 1000 individuals each year.
Urban League of Greater Dallas and North Central Texas (ULGD )
Over the years the League has been in the forefront in its struggle to enable African Americans and other citizens to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights. Its programs include employment, health, housing, education, technology training, ex-offender reentry program and seniors' services. Because of the League's efforts there have been many accomplishments including the following: founded and operated the first funded Sickle Cell Anemia Program; sponsored the first job and health fairs; organized the integration of Fair Park concessions; and is currently one of two HUD certified housing counseling agencies. The most memorable was the move to its permanent headquarters/technology center in 1999. With the opening of the new facility in the heart of Oakcliff, the League's vision "to be the leading community based organization devoted to enabling all citizens to enter and enhance their position in the economic and social mainstream" is becoming a reality. It now serves as the "hub" for providing the critical academic, technical and life skills for citizens to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Urban League of Greater New Orleans (ULNO )
In 1938 at the urging of negro businessmen and local religious leaders, the Council of Social Agencies, aided by Jesse O. Thomas, Southern Field Secretary for the National Urban League, founded the Urban League of Greater New Orleans. The conditions facing Negro New Orleanians mirrored those of other urban dwellers which propelled the newly formed group to advocate for better race relations which would be the foundation for improving the plight of Negroes economically and socially. The urban League would serve as a "clearing house" for the industrial, social, and general welfare problems of the Negro people.
