As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we share with you a brief history of our organization. Mr. James G. Hanes, a prominent local industrialist, brought together 60 black and white community leaders in 1947. These leaders formed a focus group to study ways to improve the racial climate in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. As a result, the Community Relations Project was formed in 1948. The charter was received in 1953. In 1955 the name was changed to the Winston-Salem Urban League and it became an affiliate of the National Urban League. Today, the Winston-Salem Urban League remains steadfast in its commitment to serving the community.

This website is designed to allow you to learn about the Winston-Salem Urban League and the services we provide to our community. As you navigate the site you will find that there is an array of programs that serve a range of clients from youth to the older adult. The League provides leadership training and employment/job readiness programs to these populations. Other services include health and wellness outreach and diversity training. The League also engages in serving as an advocate for African-Americans, other minorities and the disadvantaged in order that economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights might be achieved.
We believe that the information provided here will be helpful. We invite your comments and suggestions on how to better serve you and the community! |
