National Conference for Community and Justice
Definition
- THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR Community and Justice (NCCJ) was established in 1927 as the National Conference of Christians and Jews and describes itself as “a human relations organization dedicated to fighting bias, bigotry and racism in America. NCCJ promotes understanding and respect among all races, religions and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution and education.” This mission is inspired by a vision of America as being a great dream that yet remains unfulfilled: “The America we all believe in and have helped to build is still an imperfect place, in spite of great progress made in the past generation.
