The National Negro Licensed Beverage Association (NNLBA) was a trade organization, members of which were Black-owned bars, taverns, and package liquor stores. The NNLBA was organized in 1959 to increase the economic power of the Black community and enhance its bargaining power within the industry. This small collection of NNLBA, Western Pennsylvania Branch records consists primarily of agendas and meeting minute notes of meetings that took place between March and July of 1961; they are a mixture of typescript and handwritten.
