been fighting tuberculosis for 25
years but had given no particular
consideration to this group despite
the fact that the mortality rate
from tuberculosis for Negroes
ranged from three to seven times
that of the general population as
was revealed by Harris report.
Another example is in the In
FAINT Welfare Society where a spec
ial study was made and vigorous
attempts inaugurated to cut down
the infant mortality rate among
colored people because Of the revel-
atoms made by this study.
EMPLOYMENT - The League
Lnaugurated an employment de-
partment as a means of securing
jobs for Negroes not only in fields
where they were customarily en-
ployed but to make openings In
new fields. The vocational guild
ance department of the public
schools was also stimulated to
make new efforts to place colored
students. The League maintains q
cooperative relationship with the
Public Employment Service. Also
since Negroes are for the most part
outside the ranks of organized
labor, or other industrial groups,
the League sought to interpret
problems Of employment, industry
and labor.
HEALTH-A year-round health
program was instituted by the
League with special emphasis
placed ON Negro Health Week
which is conducted in collaboration
with the National Negro Health
Movement. Negro Health Week is
carried out in Minneapolis on quite
an extensive scale. Clinics, movies,
demonstrations, lectures-are just

This is the Golden Anniversary
Edition Of the National Urban
League, q social work Organlza-
ton which through its Twin City
Affiliates offers a public service In
the interest Of interracial under
standing and cooperation.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1960-04-22

seemed to these interested people
that the Urban League approach
to meet those problems was bas-
ically sound.
The first Executive of the Min
neapolis Urban League, Abram L.
Harris, made a comprehensive
study Of the Negro population in
Minneapolis as a foundation for
the work here.
This study revealed that there
was a series of problems affecting
this group, and startIngly showed
that the Negro death rate was
higher than the death rate for the
general population; that colored
men and women found it exceed
ingly difficult to secure a place
in the industries of the city, or for
that matter, to obtain a job with
any degree Of security; and that
the relations between the white
and colored people Of the city were
becoming strained under the heavy
load Of misunderstanding and pre-
tudice.
The League, then, in accordance
with its outlined policy designed
a program by means Of which these
problems could be dealth with ef-
fectively. In Article II Of the Con-
stitution IL the following state
ment:
'The objects Of this organic
alton are to bring about CO.
ordination and cooperation
among existing agencies and
organizations for improving
the industrial, economic, SOC
ial and spiritual conditions of
Negroes and to develop other
agencies and organizations
where necessary; to secure and
train Negro social workers; to
make studies Of the indus
trial economic, social and spir-
itual conditions among Negroes
and in general to promote, en-
courage, assist and engage in
any and all kinds Of work for
improving such conditions"
It might be apropos to state
here that Mr.. Harris study pro-
voked an increased activity and
achieved a greater coordination on
the part Of social agencies In their
treatment Of the Negro of this
community.
For example the Hennepin
County tuberculosis Association
mentioned the Negro for the first
time in 1925 when it stated that
the Association had cooperated
with the League in putting on a
special educational health Week
for Negroes. The Association had
Minneapolis spokesman., 1960-04-22

DCl1CNGS-
From a viewpoint Of health and
happiness, the League aims to
open up public services to all. A
germ has no respect for color, or
zoning. Health and welfare serv-
ices are for the whole community.
And the League believes a united
America is a happy and strong
America.
But what do the nations enem-
les say when a Negro student is
driven from college, when minori-
ties are forced to live in second
class sections" when groups of
citizens are relegated to menial
jobs? The answer is obvious-they
say America does not practice
what it breaches.
They would have an answer If
they saw the Urban League at
work.
Negroes, Whites Work Together
From the outset an interracial
social service agency, Negroes and
whites work together in the League
to achieve equal opportunity for
ALL" The effort itself is an answer
to our enemies.
The results of that effort, more
still, ought to be shown
to those enemies.
