Founded in 1969 as the education and research center of the civil rights coalition, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR), the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund (LCCREF) promotes an understanding of the need for national policies that support civil rights and social and economic justice, and encourages an appreciation of the nation's diversity. LCCREF initiatives are grounded in the belief that an informed public is more likely to support effective civil rights and social justice policies.
Through its public education campaigns on critical policy issues such as voting rights, judicial nominations, education reform, and affirmative action/equal opportunity, LCCREF accentuates the vital relationship between the movement's storied past and contemporary civil rights issues.
Dream Fund Project
The Dream Fund supports LCCREF's national and regional efforts and coordination to: develop effective messaging around equal opportunity; and engage strategically identified spokespeople who can speak credibly and help to begin to reframe affirmative action as equal opportunity.
