National Urban League conference to address joblessness in Baltimore


BALTIMORE (AP) — As the nation reels from repeated incidents of violence between police and African Americans, the head of the National Urban League said Tuesday that his group deliberately chose to hold its annual conference this week in the city where a young black man's death in police custody last year touched off protests and rioting.

"Because we're dedicated to solving urban problems, when there are problems, we should run to the front lines," league president and former New Orleans mayor Marc Morial said. "The decision to come to Baltimore is a decision to come to the front lines, and create opportunities to not only shed a spotlight on the problems, but to do what the Urban League is really known for, and that's focus on solutions, policy prescriptions and programmatic initiatives."
