Congress of Racial Equality
Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) James Farmer founded CORE in June 1942 at the University of Chicago. CORE became nationally prominent in the civil rights movement by pioneering important tactics of nonviolent civil disobedience, especially the sit-in movement and freedom riders. After its Baltimore convention of 1–4 July 1966 endorsed the black power movement, CORE lost much of the financial support from whites on which it depended, and by 1979 was bankrupt.
