NAACP Organization Background
Founded February 12, 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest, largest and most widely recognized civil rights organization. Its more than half-million members and supporters throughout the United States and the world are premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, leading grassroots campaigns for equal opportunity and conducting voter mobilization. The real story of the NAACP lies in the hearts and minds of all those who refused to stand idly while race prejudice tarnished our nation. From bold investigations of mob brutality, protests of mass murders, segregation and discrimination, to testimony before congressional committees on the vicious tactics use to bar African Americans from the ballot box, it was the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that saved lives and made change. Today, the true movement of the NAACP lies in the faces of the multiracial, multigenerational army of ordinary men and women who stay vigilant in awakening the consciousness of a people and a nation. With a powerful base of members in 2000+ branches in the Association, together, the NAACP will remain vigilant in its mission until the promise of America is made real for all Americans.
