ABOUT CORE COHORT ALLIANCE
CORE: Our Civil Rights Foundation
CORE Cohort Alliance is rooted in the legacy of the Congress of Racial Equality of California (CORE-CA), a historic civil rights institution committed to advancing justice, dignity, and equality.
For decades, CORE-CA has served as a trusted advocate for civil rights and cultural stewardship in California, honoring the teachings and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Among its most visible contributions was CORE-CA’s 40-year stewardship of the Kingdom Day Parade.
