Answer:

Correct answer is to help African Americans in the North get settled and find work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Urban League, former National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, was formed during what is called the Great Migration.

The Great Migration happened during early 20th century until 1970 when African Americans who lived in the rural South migrated to big cities in the West and North.

They looked for jobs newly open because of the need for industrial workers during the World War I. This is an important moment in the history of how black people started to participate more in American public and urban life.
