The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was founded on February 14, 1957,

SCLC - Dayton Chapter, is a non-profit minority community based predominantly African-American organization that has been in existence for 48 years. The national organization adopted nonviolent mass action as the cornerstone of strategy, the affiliation of local community organizations with SCLC across the South, and a determination to make the SCLC movement open to all, regardless of race, religion, or background. SCLC is a now a nation wide organization made up of chapters and affiliates with programs that affect the lives of all Americans: north, south, east and west. Its sphere of influence and interests has become international in scope because the human rights movement transcends national boundaries.
