NAACP

The NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is a civil rights organization in the United States founded in 1909. Its mission is to combat racial discrimination and promote equal rights for all individuals, particularly for African Americans. The NAACP works through advocacy, legal action, and education to address issues like voting rights, education access, and social justice. It played a significant role in landmark legal cases, such as Brown v. Board of Education, which challenged school segregation, and continues to be involved in important social justice issues today.
