PHILADELPHIA – In conjunction with the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the historic “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,” including Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the 2013 National Urban League Conference gets underway, appropriately enough, in the City of Brotherly Love.
Operating within the prism of “Rebuild America” with jobs and opportunity for all, newsmakers, policy makers, and business and community leaders from across the country will convene for exciting sessions and numerous opportunities for professional development and networking.
Major celebrities, dignitaries, legislators and educators will be on hand, including U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Congressman John Lewis, Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tonya Lewis-Lee, CNN anchor TJ Holmes, Xernona Clayton and many others.
