THE NAACP story is one of dedication
to winning the struggle to obtain racial justice for all
Americans. The Association was formed in 1909 by a group
of black and white citizens, appalled at the injustices that
some Americans suffered solely because of their race.
The Association has grown steadily since then
and is, today, the largest and most influential civil rights
organization in the country. The basic strength of the NAACP derives
from its historic victories in the courts, Congress and state
legislatures.

The NAACP NEEDS YOU! For almost nine decades the
Association has led the civil rights battle to destroy
barriers to equality for black Americans. Considerable
progress has been made but racism is still undefeated.
Until that goal is reached, the NAACP will continue as
the standard- barrier of justice, pressing America to
honor the letter and essence of its Constitution.
