Who We Are
C O R E is the acronym for the Congress Of Racial Equality.
Founded in 1942, CORE is the third oldest and one of the "Big Four" civil rights groups in the United States. From the protests against "Jim Crow" laws of the 40's through the "Sit-ins" of the 50's, the "Freedom Rides" of the 60's, the cries for "Self-Determination" in the 70's, "Equal Opportunity" in the 80's, community development in the 90's, to the current demand for equal access to information, CORE has championed true equality. As the "shock troops" and pioneers of the civil rights movement, CORE has paved the way for the nation to follow.
Under the banner of "TRUTH! LOGIC! & COURAGE!", CORE continues to promote harmony and healing in all aspects of society; calling the shots straight--even when it hurts--and confronting the haters, race baiters and racial racketeers bent on keeping us apart.

The second day of the March Against Fear, I was shot by Aubrey James Norvell. During my time being separated from the march multiple groups including C.O.R.E. stood behind my cause and the march itself. Thank you for your support!

To be a founder and to be apart of this organization is truly such an honor. The progress this organization has made has been absolutely outstanding. Give yourself a round of applause! But be careful, never lose sight of what you were built from.
Best of luck,
-James L. Farmer
