Message from the President
First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the great supporters of The Urban League Movement!
More than a human service and civil rights organization, the National Urban League, is a MOVEMENT designed to uplift and empower those in need. We have served, advocated, educated, employed, engaged, and mobilized thousands of people in Greenville-Spartanburg and surrounding communities in Upstate South Carolina for over 35 years.
This could never have been accomplished without the dedicated and passionate service of volunteers, such as: Theo Mitchell, the late Joe Allman, the late Sam Zimmerman, the late Alberta Grimes, Minor Shaw, the late Thomas Kerns, Mack Whittle, Hayne Hipp, the late Rev. S.C. Cureton, Ethel Piper, the late Rev. Robert Dennis, Judge Alex Kinlaw, former Greenville Mayor Max Heller, the late Carolyn Frederick, James M. Shoemaker, Jr., Oscar Prioleau, Ralph Ogden, Doug Dent and many, many others who put their faith, hope, and trust in this organization from it’s humble beginnings in the 70’s.
