Atlanta Neighborhood Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlanta Neighborhood Union was an African-American, women-led neighborhood organization in Atlanta, Georgia, started in 1908 by Lugenia Burns Hope, and chartered in 1911.[1] The Union, "a prototype for self-help and social service organizations,"[2] was one of the most important organizations for Atlanta's social services, and worked in part by networking with the city's progressive whites.[3] One of the organizations influenced by it was the Women's Political Council, of Montgomery, Alabama. It was dissolved in the 1970s.
