We started our National Urban League Centennial Celebration in 2010 with a bold, nationwide call to action. We are apart of the I AM EMPOWERED, an initiative focusing on four aspirational goals for empowering communities to achieve in education, employment, housing, and healthcare, the cornerstones of our approach.
