The National Conference of Black Lawyers (NCBL) is a prominent legal advocacy organization based in New York, NY. Established in 1968, NCBL is dedicated to supporting progressive Black lawyers and enhancing their professional strength and skills for the benefit of the Black community. With a diverse membership consisting of judges, law students, lawyers, legal activists, and scholars, NCBL has been actively involved in fighting against racism, white supremacy, and the inequities it produces through the use of law. The organization has also extended its support to various liberation movements and oppressed groups globally.
As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer-driven organization, NCBL has played a significant role in advocating for human rights and self-determination, not only in Africa but also in countries like Northern Ireland, the Palestinian territories, Cuba, Nicaragua, Guyana, Grenada, and throughout Southern Africa. Over the years, NCBL has provided legal support to notable individuals such as Angela Davis, Assata Shakur, and Mumia Abu-Jamal, while also lobbying against apartheid in South Africa. Committed to producing justice and achieving full social, political, and economic rights for the Black community, NCBL continues to be a leading force in the fight for equality and liberation.
