Ages for which our activities are most appropriate:
The Congress Of Racial Equality of California (CORE-CA) is a successor to the Chicago based Civil Rights CORE organization founded in 1942 by the late James Farmer, and a group of Quaker pacifists to launch an aggressive assault on nationwide racial injustice during World War II. CORE immediately became one of the big three organizations in the Civil Rights movement that changed America in the 20th Century. Our original, predecessor Agency was the most aggressive of all three and the first to use non-violence. It was CORE that invented the FREEDOM RIDES and the SIT-INS in the 40’s and 50’s. It was CORE that first brought non-violence into the Montgomery Bus Boycott that would be led by Dr. King.
