Look out for the National Urban League coffee table book, travelling exhibit and more in celebration of 100 years of empowerment! You can also visit http://www.nul.org/ and view an interactive timeline.

While the centennial celebration is a time to reflect on the rich history and legacy of the National Urban League. It is also a time to look forward as the transformative movement of the National Urban League continues to serve the emerging and future needs of urban America.

With a proven track record of pulling people out of poverty and putting them on the path to empowerment, the National Urban League celebrates its centennial by launching the I AM EMPOWERED campaign instilling a message of hope and individual empowerment to make a lasting difference. Focused on four inspirational goals for America, in the areas of education, employment, housing and healthcare, I AM EMPOWERED will galvanize millions of people to take a pledge to commit to help achieve the goals by 2025!

Through a robust national multi-media campaign with messages centered on the theme of empowerment, the National Urban League is engaging individuals, communities, corporations and government agencies to improve the state of America and pledge to commit to their time and talent to the following Empowerment Goals:

• Education: Every American child is ready for college, work and life.
• Jobs: Every American has access to jobs with a living wage and good benefits.
• Housing: Every American lives in safe, decent, affordable and energy efficient housing on fair terms.
• Health care: Every American has access to quality and affordable health care solutions.

This motivating campaign reminds everyone of the power of the individual to become a force for change by encouraging collective action to bring change to entire communities and urban areas. The nine historically Black Greek letter organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the “Divine Nine” have partnered with the National Urban League, along with the National Council of La Raza and other civic and community organizations to spread this message of empowerment and achieve these goals by 2025.

Become a part of the excitement and celebrate a legacy of service as the National Urban League prepares for the next 100 years of progress!
