Jefferson County Sunday School Association
The Jefferson County Sunday School Association was a church-based organization founded in 1925 in Louisville, Kentucky. It played a pivotal role in local civil rights activities and was part of the grassroots effort for anti-discrimination campaigns with an emphasis on employment opportunities for African-Americans.
==Origins==

The JCSSA began as a religious education group. It wasn't until the 1930s that the organization began to shift its focus to job discrimination of African-Americans. This began with a particular instance when a Louisville phone company refused to hire African-Americans as employees, so Frank Stanley Sr. — editor and publisher of the ''Louisville Defender'' — urged readers to pay their phone bills with pennies. After this incident, the JCSSA initiated a drive to get the Louisville Transit Company to hire black drivers.
The JCSSA also held rallies consisting of various African-American religious groups and partnered with other organizations helping African-Americans, such as Operation Breadbasket. In 1939, the JCSSA health committee launched a campaign to create training facilities for nurses and doctors, in order to improve the health of African-Americans. Unfortunately, the campaign was soon abandoned because of disagreements concerning the leadership of the committee.
Interracial cooperation in Louisville during the post-war civil rights movement took the form of leadership by three overlapping coalitions: left-wing and labor unions, secular and government-sponsored agencies, and church youth groups. Various groups within each would gain more influence at certain periods. A few, including the JCSSA, were seen as being led by charismatic individuals who brought people out for protest campaigns.
