sep 24, 1942 - 1942: The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE was set up by James Farmer to protest against the De Facto segregation in northern cities. It was revived in 1961, however, it split in 1966 over support for the Black Power Movement and James Farmer resigned in disgust at the violent tendencies of some members. After 1968 though, when Roy Innes took over, it moved back to a more moderate position.) (Timeline)
