	Congress of Racial Equality - CORE
		The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded in 1942 as the Committee of Racial Equality by an interracial group of students in Chicago, Illinois.
		CORE gained national attention for this Journey of Reconciliation when four of the riders were arrested in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and three, including Rustin, were forced to work on a chain gang.
		CORE provided guidance for action in the aftermath of the 1960 sit-in of four college students (who were not CORE members) at a Greensboro, North Carolina, lunch counter and subsequently became a nationally recognized civil rights organization.

	"The First Freedom Ride:" Bayard Rustin On His Work With CORE
		In 1947 Rustin led a group of whites and fls on a “Journey of Reconciliation” to challenge racial segregation on inter-state buses.
		Now, CORE had been founded within the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and great numbers of fls had cooperated with the CORE direct action.
		But when war came, the many fls who were working in CORE and who were not pacifists did not want CORE to remain within the FOR, because the FOR was a pacifist organization and they did not want to be associated with a pacifist organization in war time.

		ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY: The Milwaukee chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) protested in 1963-1964 against the degenerating quality of education in Milwaukee's Inner Core schools, at which most of the students were fl.
