The '''American League of Colored Laborers''' was a short-lived [[labor union]] established in [[New York City]] in 1850. It is notable for being the first union created for [[African Americans]] in the United States. Social reformer Frederick Douglass assisted in organizing the group, and its initial officers included Samuel Ringgold Ward as president, Douglass as vice president, and Henry Bibb as secretary. Despite plans that included the establishment of a bank and an industrial fair to assist skilled freedmen, the union faltered shortly after its creation. |

The American League of Colored Laborers was a short-lived labor union established in New York City in 1850. It is notable for being the first union created for African Americans in the United States. Social reformer Frederick Douglass assisted in organizing the group, and its initial officers included Samuel Ringgold Ward as president, Douglass as vice president, and Henry Bibb as secretary. Despite plans that included the establishment of a bank and an industrial fair to assist skilled freedmen, the union faltered shortly after its creation.
