New Community Corporation (NCC) in Newark, New Jersey is one of the largest and most comprehensive community development organizations in the country. Founded in 1968 by Msgr. William Linder, then a young parish priest, it was born out of the civil unrest that spread through inner cities like Newark during the late 1960s. The mission of New Community is to help inner-city residents improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual God-given dignity and personal achievement. The history of Babyland began after the summer riots of 1967 in Newark, New Jersey. Mary Palmer Smith along with her sister Martha Palmer Chaneyfield launched grassroots efforts to address the poor living conditions of its tenants.
