National Urban Coalition records, 1908-1909, 1920-1971.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145771257

Records of a national organization established in 1970 to combat the major urban problems that 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.

23.0 c.f. (22 record center cartons, 2 archives boxes), and0.4 c.f. of photographs (1 archives box).
