National Conference For Community and Justice
     A human relations organization founded in 1927 as the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Prompted by the growth of the KKK and other racist and xenophobic groups in the 1920’s, such luminaries as Jane Addams, Benjamin N. Cardozo, and future U. S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes came together to form an organization “dedicated to fighting bias, bigotry and racism in America.”
