ULMS History Synopsis

The Urban league of Metropolitan Seattle (ULMS) was established in 1929 and incorporated in 1936 as one of the 115 affiliates of the National Urban League (NUL) www.nul.org. The Civil Rights movement during the 1960’s attributed much success to the development of the Urban League’s programs that aim to help individuals and families obtain fair and equal opportunities in the areas of: health care, housing, employment, and education.
