Publications[edit]

The section added by a SPA in Jan 2010, about the Urban Influence Magazine, seems valid. It appears that the magazine is sponsored by the NUL, and having a section describing their various publications would seem useful. If/when someone wishes to write such a section, consider using that material as a start. 128.54.65.13 (talk) (really, User:JesseW/not logged in) 18:09, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History of Negro Welfare Association (from Cleveland, Ohio)[edit]

I was editing the article Lethia Cousins Fleming, and I noticed a few citations referring to the Negro Welfare Association (now known as the National Urban League),^[1]^[2] but I didn't see that history in the National Urban League article currently? Does anyone know more about this? Jooojay (talk) 08:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
