Annual Dinner MeetingThe Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis can trace its roots back to 1910, the same year as the founding of the National Urban League. One hundred and two years ago in 1918, a small group of black and white St. Louisans came together and founded the Urban League of St. Louis in reaction to the East St. Louis race riot.
