Aims
At the inaugural meeting, the The League of Coloured Peoples established four main aims, printed in each issue of The Keys:
- To promote and protect the Social, Educational, Economic and Political Interests of its members;
- To interest members in the Welfare of Coloured Peoples in all parts of the World;
- To improve relations between the Races;
- To cooperate and affiliate with organisations sympathetic to coloured people
In 1937, a fifth aim was added:
- To render such financial assistance to coloured people in distress as lies within our capacity.
