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.
