National Conference for Community and Justice

The National Conference for Community and Justice is an American social justice organization focused on fighting biases and promoting understanding between people of different races and cultures. The organization was founded in 1927 as the National Conference of Jews and Christians in response to anti-Semitism and anti-Catholic sentiment surrounding Al Smith's run for President.

History
The NCCJ was established in 1927 by social activists, including Jane Addams and US Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, to bring diverse people together to address interfaith divisions. Over the course of its history, the organization expanded its purview to all issues of social justice; in 1998 its name changed from "National Conference of Jews and Christians" to "National Conference for Community and Justice". A number of regional offices exist under the auspices of the National Federation for Just Communities. ==Programs and events==
Programs and events
The NCCJ promoted inclusivity through various events and programs. One of the first was the "Tolerance Trio", a traveling roadshow which toured the country with a priest, a rabbi, and a clergyman, all making jokes and providing entertainment. By the early 2000s the event had lost relevance and was eventually canceled. He prefaced the song by remarking, "During National Brotherhood Week, various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first day of the week, Malcolm X was killed, which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is." ==See also==
