This study explores the class cleavages shaping black self-help through an examination of the ideology and programs of the Urban Leagues of New York and Chicago between 1910 and 1950. It focuses chiefly on the ideology and larger social vision behind the Urban League's housing and labor policies from the migration through the years immediately following the Second World War, in order to determine which tenants and workers were to benefit from the League's efforts.

520 $a This study explores the class cleavages shaping black self-help through an examination of the ideology and programs of the Urban Leagues of New York and Chicago between 1910 and 1950. It focuses chiefly on the ideology and larger social vision behind the Urban League's housing and labor policies from the migration through the years immediately following the Second World War, in order to determine which tenants and workers were to benefit from the League's efforts.
520 $a “<italic>Helping Negroes to Help Themselves</italic>” advances the view that the Urban League's housing and labor policies illustrate the class biases pervading racial uplift. Because the League's integrationist vision required Afro-Americans to demonstrate their worthiness of full inclusion, many of its programs were characterized by attempts to insulate the “better classes” of blacks by either containing or acculturating those who threatened the race's advancement. At the same time, the Urban League and its locals adhered to a “partial accommodationist” approach that called for black agency rather than complacency. Since partial accommodation required that blacks demonstrate their <italic>worthiness</italic> of full equality, however, it required Afro-Americans to protest injustice through avenues demonstrating their commitment to the American political economy. The League's efforts to adjust black newcomers, therefore, placed particular emphasis on redirecting the actions of poor blacks into respectable outlets.
520 $a The League's housing, jobs, and union programs emphasized the containment and/or acculturation of Afro-Americans deemed to pose a threat to group progress. These activities often reflected the organization's class biases. Leaguers actively assisted landlords and employers in evicting or terminating blacks who failed to meet their expectations. The League's efforts to acculturate Afro-American newcomers also revealed class tensions within urban black communities. Believing that the Great Migration eroded traditional social controls, Urban Leaguers sought to create alternative outlets and pastimes for Afro-American workers and tenants designed to channel their efforts into socially acceptable activities. The Leagues of New York and Chicago, therefore, used job training and even participation in organized labor as means of combating dangerous conduct.
