Overview & More informations

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights organization in the United States, founded in 1909. The NAACP's mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights for all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. The NAACP is the largest and most widely recognized civil rights organization in the world.

The NAACP was founded in response to the Springfield Race Riot of 1908, in which a white mob attacked and killed two African Americans. The NAACP's founders included W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Archibald Grimké. The NAACP's first major campaign was to end lynching, and it played a key role in the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in 1922.

The NAACP has also been active in the fight for voting rights, school desegregation, and fair housing. The NAACP's legal team has argued and won several landmark cases before the Supreme Court, including Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine.

The NAACP is a non-profit organization that is supported by donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations. The NAACP has more than 2,000 chapters and branches across the United States.

The NAACP is a powerful voice for civil rights and has made a significant impact on American society. The NAACP continues to fight for equality and justice for all.
