Newark Interracial Council, c. 1930s-1945

The Newark Interracial Commission existed c. 1930s or 1940s and the President was Mrs. William B. Foulkes. Suffragist Amelia Moorfield, was also on the Board, along with Urban League president Harold Lett. It is unclear if it is the same as the Newark Interracial Council. Harold Lett did an oral history where talked about the Newark Interracial Council which suggests it may be the same.

The Newark Interracial Council president was activist Lucy K. Millburn.The Council was founded in 1929, with representatives of 20 civil, educational and religious groups. It worked to get Black doctors at Newark City Hospital, worked against segregating of blood by the Red Cross, protested in support of Hazel Scott, and formed an Intercultural Education Council and a Citizens Committee on Racial Unity. These groups worked on issues like education and police brutality. A Council for Integroup Action was formed to regulate the work. In 1946, all these groups merged to form the Citizens Committee on Human Relations.
