Chicago Urban League
The Chicago Urban League, established in 1916 in Chicago, Illinois, is an affiliate of the National Urban League that develops programs and partnerships and engages in advocacy to address the need for employment, entrepreneurship, affordable housing and quality education. The League was established by an interracial group of community leaders as a resettlement organization assisting African American migrants arriving in Chicago from the rural South. Barbara A. Lumpkin was appointed Interim President and CEO of the Chicago Urban League in June 2018.
Reports

gollark: I don't think you need a neural network if you just make a lot of assumptions, but it might be better.
