It was founded in Chicago in 1942 by James L. Farmer Jr., George Houser, James R. Robinson, Bernice Fisher, Homer Jack, and Joe Guinn. The CORE headed many nonviolent campaigns opposing "Jim Crow" segregation. The CORE mainly focused on getting blacks equal voting rights, although the whole idea, like many other Civil Rights Movements, were to stop segregation and job discrimination. CORE was associated was events like the March on Washington at the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King Jr. made his "I Have a Dream" speech, and Freedom Summer by opening up Freedom Schools, associating blacks more in the curriculum.
