Urban League of St. Louis Records

This collection documents a social and civic welfare organization, formed to assist African Americans living in, or moving through St. Louis, Missouri with the Great Migration. First called the Committee for Social Service Among Colored People (1910-1916), in 1917 it became the St. Louis Urban League, and shortly after, affiliated with the national Urban League. The major objectives of the Urban League were to improve the socio-economic and cultural conditions for African Americans, and to promote improved race relations.
