Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity. Cleveland Chapter.

The Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity (f. 1961) was a national organization with local chapters open to members in communion with the Protestant Episcopal Church. The national organization was governed by a board of directors which sponsored annual meetings and granted and renewed local charters. Local units such as the Cleveland, Ohio, Chapter elected officers and were encouraged to carry out a program of activities that complemented those of the national organization. The Cleveland Chapter supported the 1968 presidential campaign of Senator Eugene McCarthy, and the "Poor People's" Campaign with monetary and food contributions, while opposing the Vietnamese War.
