People United to Save Humanity
People United to Save Humanity (aka PUSH or Operation PUSH) was founded in 1971, through efforts led by the social activist Jesse Jackson and Operation Breadbasket, an organization which served as the economic foundation for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Jackson had previously been selected to lead Operation Breadbasket by Martin Luther King, Jr.. These organizations worked to strengthen the financial and economic stability of African Americans in the late 1970s. PUSH quickly became a leading social justice organization in the United States, and continue to fulfill this role today. Jackson organized the group with Chicagoans of both black and white races. There were routine weekly meetings held at the Hyde Park Headquarters to help motivate the supporters. PUSH has organized consumer boycotts, pressured companies to hire African Americans and other minorities, supported black-owned businesses, and formed strategies reflected in the current civil rights movement.
