Abstract:

Records, 1908-1909 and 1920-1971, of the National Urban Coalition (NUC), a national organization established in 1970 to combat the major urban problems which gained widespread attention during the urban turmoil of the late 1960s -- housing, jobs and economic development, equal opportunities, health, education, and law and government reform. The collection includes relatively few records of the National Urban Coalition itself; rather it primarily documents its five predecessor organizations: American Planning and Civic Association (records, 1908-1909, 1920-1964), ACTION Inc. (1953-1966), States Urban Action Center (1967-1971), Urban America Inc. (1964-1970), and the Urban Coalition (1968-1970).
