HISTORY:Throughout its history, the Urban League Movement has been a magnet for people with a vision of a better urban America and the financial and intellectual capacity to make a difference. In 1910, Mrs. Ruth Standish Baldwin, a member of one of America's oldest families, and widow of railroad magnate, William Baldwin, and Dr. George Edmund Hayes, the first African American to receive a doctorate degree from Columbia University, founded what later became the National Urban League. For more than one hundred years this combination of dynamic leadership, vision and financial wherewithal has been and remains the formula for success of the Urban League on the national and local levels. MISSION:At the 99-year-old Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh (ULGP), South Western Pennsylvanians join together in efforts designed to enable African Americans to achieve economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights. PROGRAMS & SERVICES:Recently ranked as one of the nation's highest performing affiliates for the third time in succession, the ULGP offers vital programs through the Center for Leadership & Economic Self Reliance and through the Housing and Family & Child Development Departments.
